| As the water plunges 57 m (187 ft) from the horseshoe-shaped lip of Canada’s Horseshoe Falls, a dense spray rises high into the air. Also known as the Canadian Falls, this cataract is the Canadian component of Niagara Falls, a set of waterfalls on the Niagara River on the border between Canada and the United States. The city of Niagara Falls, Ontario, overlooks Horseshoe Falls and is a popular tourist destination. |
