Browne Falls is a waterfall above Doubtful Sound, which is located in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. It is the 10th tallest waterfall on earth. In a temperate rain forest, the falls cascade down to the fiord near Hall Arm. Heights of 619 metres and 836 metres have been given for the falls. Their source is a tarn called Lake Browne (836 meter above sea level) which when full, overflows down the side of the mountain face. The stream makes 836 meter height difference over 1,130 meter horizontal difference, thus the mean gradient of stream is 42 degrees. This comparatively low angle makes falls less impressive. The falls are named after pioneering aerial photographer, Victor Carlyle Browne, who discovered Lake Browne and the associated falls on one of his flights over Fiordland in the 1940s.
