Spectacular falls providing a great tourist attraction on the Niagara river on the Canada-US border. The river, which flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, divides at Goat Island into two falls. The Horseshoe (Canadian) Falls are 54 m (176 ft) high and the crest of the falls is 675 m (2215 ft) wide. The American Falls are 56 m (184 ft) high and 323 m (1060 ft) wide. The river drops 98 m (320 ft) in 48 km (30 miles). The gorge is spanned by bridges and the waters have been harnessed for hydroelectricity.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
