Why is Niagara Falls the strangest waterfall in the world?

I have never heard of this statement.

Niagara Falls is not actually a waterfall. Some people say that it consists of two waterfalls, "Canadian Falls" and "American Falls" - most Canadians say this; according to Americans, it is composed of three waterfalls: "Horseshoe Falls" (Horseshoe Falls, which is "Canada Falls"). Falls," which is shaped like a horseshoe), "American Falls" and "Bridal Veil Falls." The "Bridal Veil" is next to the broad "American Falls". Although it is only a thin strand, it is a branch of its own, so the Americans "declare" its "independence". Niagara's three waterfalls have a surface width of 1,160 meters (if two islands are included, the width can reach 1,240 meters). Although they are divided into three streams, they are the same water source and the same destination - the Niagara River. [4]

The lake passes through the 350-meter-wide Goat Island on the cliff of the river bed, splits into two parts, and flows into Niagara Falls respectively

Niagara Falls

United States and Canada, forming three waterfalls. The larger waterfall on the American side is called the American Falls. It is 50 meters high in New York State, and the shore length of the waterfall is 305 meters. There is Luna Island next to the American Falls. The water flow is divided into two parts, forming a small waterfall with a width of 80 meters and a height of 50 meters. Because the water flow is small, the falling mist is like a bride wearing a veil, so it is called "Bridal Veil Falls" . The largest waterfall is on the Canadian side, called the Canadian Falls or Horseshoe Falls, in Ontario, Canada, with a height of 56 meters and a shore length of about 675 meters. However, the height and width of these two waterfalls vary with the amount of water. The water source of the two waterfalls comes from the same place, but only 6% of the water flows down from the American Falls, and the other 94% of the water flows down from the Horseshoe Falls. The Horseshoe Falls has a large amount of water, and the water rushes into the river in a cyan color, while the water in the American Falls is blue. The water from Niagara Falls forms a long lake in the lower reaches of the Niagara River, and the main channel is the territorial water boundary between Canada and the United States.

The two islands are Goat Island and Luna Island. They divide the waterfall into three like two mainstays. The island is lined with green trees and the scenery is elegant. Legend has it that the Indians once regarded Goat Island as a holy place and buried their late leader on the island in order to ascend to heaven, calling it "Happy Island". Later, European colonists invaded here, and "Happy Island" could not escape bad luck. The cemetery was emptied, the Indians were slaughtered, and only a herd of goats remained on the island. When the severe winter came, a large group of goats froze to death, and only one ram survived until the next spring. Therefore the name of the island was changed to "Goat Island".

The "Wedding Falls" next to the "American Falls" is extremely wide and detailed. Because the bottom of the lake is uneven

Niagara Falls

the uneven rocks have a large amount of water. It's not big, so the water falls in a whirlpool, falling onto countless huge rocks, and rolls up thousands of piles of snow. It's very different from a vertical waterfall. It has charming scenery of gurgling water and splashing silver flowers. Compared with the spectacular waterfall next to it, it is obviously unique and has a different charm. Like a piece of moonlight, it shines softly on the cliff, making tourists intoxicated. Therefore, Niagara Falls has also become a destination for lovers' trysts and newlyweds' honeymoons.

The American Falls has a waterline of 335 meters and a drop of 54 meters. It is separated from the narrow Bridal Veil Falls by a protrusion on the rock wall. This protruding rock is called "Luna Island". It is said that in the past, on full moon nights, a moonlight rainbow would appear in the water mist, hence the name. Nowadays, such a romantic scenery is gone. The strong lights shining from the Canadian side at night create another kind of artificial charm. Moon Island also has the problem of loose rocks and has been reinforced several times, otherwise Bridal Veil and American Falls would have become one. There is also a shaft on the island that allows tourists to go down to the bottom of the waterfall and look up.

Niagara Falls

Although one is in Canada and the other is in the United States, both waterfalls face Canada. If you want to see the true face of the waterfall, you have to go to Canada. You can see clearly from this side, or by taking a boat to the Niagara River under the falls. The section of the Niagara River that rushes toward the American Falls is shared by the United States and Canada. There is a Rainbow Bridge built on the river. This bridge is also divided according to the border within Hanoi. One end belongs to Canada and the other end belongs to the United States. Visitors can step on one side of the bridge at the boundary and say proudly: "I have stepped on the soil of both countries at the same time!" [5]

The height of the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls depends on the water level. The level changes.

The water rushes down from a height of more than 30 meters, and when it reaches the bottom of the river, the splashing waves are also more than 30 meters high, especially the Horseshoe Falls. Due to the large amount of water, it really rushes down with the force of thunder and waves, splashing The waves and water vapor are sometimes as high as more than 100 meters. If you go close to the waterfall, the waves will splash you "with rain all over your head". At the same time, the waves and water vapor will also make you "unpredictable" about the Horseshoe Falls.
