"Waterfall Fisherman of Si Phan Don." A fisherman, clenching a knife between his teeth, grabs a rope to steady himself in a waterfall in Si Phan Don in Southern Laos. A select few fishermen risk their lives daily to catch fish from the swollen Mekong River using small bamboo traps to catch migratory fish traveling the falls.
