The Travel Collection - Part 1 - Niagara Falls Facts

in #travel7 years ago

Hello Steemit Friends! Welcome back!

I want to share with you some of my recent shots from my trip to Niagara Falls. These images were taken from the Canadian side of the Falls.

While I was on my trip I managed to gather up a few interesting facts (below).

  • Fact #1: Twenty percent of the worlds freshwater lies in the Great Lakes, and most flows over Niagara Falls.

  • Fact #2: The first person to go over the Falls in a barrel and survive was a 63 year old female schoolteacher.

  • Fact #3: The Falls at Niagara are about 12,000 years old

Additional Facts:

  • The three cascades form the second largest waterfall in the world (after Victoria Falls in Africa)
  • When Niagara Falls formed, it was about 7 miles (11 km) downstream from where it is today.

Thanks for checking out my post! Have a fantastic weekend!
