Niagara Falls

Hello my dears. I was watching a quiz yesterday, and one of the questions was ... where are the Niagara Falls? Of course, the contestant gave the correct answer. But then, I thought to myself, since when have I not thought about it and read about this beauty. And here I am, now I will write a little on that topic.

Niagara Falls (English: Niagara Falls) - a series of waterfalls located on the Niagara River in East North America, on the border between the United States and Canada. Waterfalls (French: "les Chutes du Niagara") consist of three different waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls (also known as Canadian Falls), American Falls, and the smaller Bridal Falls. Niagara Falls, created 125 centuries ago, today forms the border between the United States and Canada, and is one of the five most attractive tourist destinations in the world. Niagara means "water that thunders", and its Indian name absolutely corresponds to the noise made by the waterfalls in the abyss of the river of the same name near Lake Ontario.

For the first time, information about this waterfall was obtained by the Indians - they believed that water demons seek to sacrifice two human lives every year. In 1657, this wonder of nature was included in a French map. It was not until 20 years later that two explorers, the French traveler La Sal and his Belgian companion Luj Enepin, made their way to the falls. The first report contained a wealth of incredible information.

Niagara Falls is not very high, but it is very wide. On average, about 110,000 m3 of water flow through them every minute up to a maximum of 165,000 m3 per minute. It makes the most powerful waterfalls in North America and probably the most famous in the world.

Geographically, Niagara Falls is a 20-minute drive from the American city of Buffalo in New York State and an hour and a half drive from the Canadian city of Toronto. Some sources mistakenly claim that waterfalls flow an average of 330,000 cubic meters per minute or more. That figure is accurate when it comes to the average flow of the river itself, but much of it is diverted for hydroelectric purposes before it reaches the waterfalls. Niagara Falls is famous for its beauty, but it is also an important source of hydroelectric power. Waterfalls have been a popular tourist attraction for almost a century, and this natural wonder is shared by the twin cities of Niagara Falls (Ontario) and Niagara Falls (New York).

The view of them is beautiful as in summer. so in winter. Therefore, they are visited at any time. Whatever the season, the number of tourists is huge.

From all positions the waterfalls look beautiful, but lately tourists usually enjoy them from boats or the lookout. Most agree that the view from the Canadian coast offers a better experience.

When you visit this beautiful place, you will be surprised by all the amenities and qualities that are offered, starting from the accommodation, then the food in the beautiful restaurants, the entertainment, the shopping.

This short text reminded us of one of the many natural phenomena and beauties that exist in our world. Well, let's enjoy a little.
