Explanation

The Congo River is the only major river that crosses the equator twice. It flows through the Democratic Republic of Congo, crossing the equator north of Kisangini and again south of Mbandaka. This unique geographic feature occurs because the river originates south of the equator, flows north across it, then turns south.
