About

Niagara Falls, three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States

Description: Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge, spanning the border between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States.

History: The falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation, and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean.

Culture: Niagara Falls has long been a source of inspiration for explorers, travelers, artists, authors, filmmakers, residents and visitors, few of whom left unmoved by the spectacular sights.

Practical: While the falls are a major tourist attraction, care should be taken as the rocks can be slippery and the water currents strong.

Did you know ?: Niagara Falls is renowned for its beauty, and it is both a valuable source of hydroelectric power and a challenging project for environmental preservation.
