Niagara Falls

Formed by receding glaciers, the Niagara Falls are actually three waterfalls located on the Niagara river, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. The three falls have a combined flow rate of 75,000 gallons per second, the highest  rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet. Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by flow rate and vertical height.
