Niagara Falls may not be the highest waterfall in the world (that’s Angel Falls in Venezuala). However, its width and sheer volume of water makes it spectacular, attracting over 20 million tourists per year.

Niagara Falls comprises a group of three waterfalls and sits on the Niagara River on the border between Canada and the USA. The largest of these three waterfalls is Horseshoe Falls (shown above), which has a drop of over 50 metres. At its peak, 168,000 m3 of water falls every minute.
