Horseshoe Falls

As the water plunges 57 m (187 ft) from the horseshoe-shaped lip of Canada’s Horseshoe Falls, a dense spray rises high into the air. Also known as the Canadian Falls, this cataract is the Canadian component of Niagara Falls, a set of waterfalls on the Niagara River on the border between Canada and the United States.

• Niagara Falls

Located on the Niagara River in western New York, the American Falls forms the American component of Niagara Falls, a set of cataracts straddling the border between the United States and Ontario, Canada. Bridal Veil Falls and the Cave of the Winds, shown here behind a curtain of water, are part of American Falls. With its natural beauty and impressive dimensions, Niagara Falls is one of North America’s major tourist attractions.

Niagara Fall,s waterfall in east central North America, located on the Niagara River, in western New York and southeastern Ontario. Niagara Falls consists of two cataracts: the Horseshoe, or Canadian, Falls (57 m/187 ft high), on the Canadian side of the river, and the American Falls (55 m/182 ft high), on the United States side. The waterfalls are separated by Goat Island, New York. The crestline of the crescent-shaped Horseshoe Falls, which carries about nine times more water than the U.S. cataract, is about 670 m (about 2,200 ft) long, and the fairly straight crest of the American Falls measures 328 m (1,075 ft). A small section of the American Falls near Goat Island is also known as Bridal Veil Falls.
