Ribbon of Holy Water Photograph by Nevada Wier |

Fed by rains that pour off surrounding highlands, the Blue Nile flows brown, its waters heavy with soil, as it rushes west through northern Ethiopia. Though here its waters are wide, shallow, and tranquil, in gorges the river narrows and deepens, tumbling over falls and rapids. A National Geographic expedition became one of only a few to travel the Blue Nile from its upper reaches to the Sudan.
