Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular falls on earth and is located over the Niagara River. The name "Niagara" is believed to originate from an Iroquois word "Onguiaahra" which means "The Strait." Niagara Falls is actually composed of two sections parted by American Falls on the United States side & Goat Island Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the border. The Niagara Falls are famous all over the world for their beauty as well as a very valuable source of hydroelectric power. Niagara Falls was discovered in 1604 by a Frenchman Samuel de Champlain. He visited the area during his exploration of Canada and described the spectacular beauty of Niagara Falls in his journal. Niagara Falls is actually divided into the American Falls & the Horseshoe Falls. The Horseshoe Falls are lengthier & drop about 173 feet (53 m). The American Falls drop about 70 feet (21 m) before they reach a group of fallen rocks, deposited by a massive rock slide in the year 1954. Horseshoe Falls, the larger of the two is about 2,600 feet (792 m) in width, while the American Falls is about 1,060 feet (323 m) wide. The volume of water that approaches the falls during the peak flow season is about 202,000 cubic feet per second (5,720 m/s), which in itself is amazing.
