The shortest river in the world? Or one of the shortest ...
When we visited the city of Villa la Angostura, Argentina, they showed us a river that connects two lakes: Lake Corrientoso with Lake Nahuel Huapi and they told us that it was the shortest river in the world.
The distance between the two lakes varies according to their height, from 200 meters to 300 meters in length, but as they emphasize the Corrientoso River does not exceed 300 meters in length. On the same it has a pedestrian bridge and another one that passes a route.
The calm Correntoso
The shortest in the world? While it is not a title that I think is important, it is more than anything a curiosity, but people like "the most ..."
The Guinness, not the tasty Irish beer but the book of meaningless records, included many years ago the "D" River in Oregon, USA, as the shortest with about 130 meters. They were happy for a while.
But they appeared to ruin the joys of the almost neighboring state of Montana, also in the USA, with the "River Roe" of 61 meters. I suppose Oregon will have the consolation of having the river with the shortest name in the world, or, certainly, with fewer letters. It's something. But as they say that was not enough for those of Oregon who made a series of mysterious measurements and oh surprise, they concluded that the River D was only 37 meters. Anyway if you ever meet someone from Oregon do not argue with him.
This controversy will not have been the shortest, but perhaps one of the most stupid, but in short ...
Another of shorter: in Norway there is a town that is called "A" and in France one that is called "Y". But since they are so far away in the alphabet, I do not think they will meet to discuss it.
But, returning to the rivers, as I do not know Oregon or Montana and I do not think it will, for me the Corrientoso River is the shortest river in the world ... the world I know.
