Niagara Falls is a place that shows the great power of nature but in winter it is completely frozen, the sight is extremely wonderful. Every location here exudes an overwhelming impression. The waterfall is truly majestic, this is one of the places with the strongest water flow in the world. Here are some strange things that few people notice about this place.
This waterfall may not be the biggest, but it is the most majestic.
You might think that Niagara Falls would be at least one of the largest waterfalls in the world, but that is not the case. There are three waterfalls that flow into Niagara Falls, creating a huge volume of water. What is even more amazing is that they flow at full power, creating a majestic sight.
Tourist hit by flying fish
One of the dangers of approaching the falls is encountering flying fish. About 90% of the fish will fall into the falls, but some will end up flying out and landing on visitors. Many people have reported seeing fish raining down from the sky, making this place more interesting than ever.
There was a person who survived when he risked falling from the top of the waterfall.
Going down Niagara Falls in a barrel is no joke but one woman did it and miraculously survived, her name was Annie Edison Taylor. She did it in 1901 and lived to tell the tale, but she advises people not to do it again.
In 2012, a man named Nik Wallenda received special permission from the government to hike Niagara Falls and was successful.
Waterfalls are being eroded, the future will disappear
It is estimated that in 50,000 years, Niagara Falls will no longer flow as it does now. This is due to the erosion taking place between the falls and Lake Erie, and the rate is increasing every year.
Increase positive energy for visitors after visiting
Some people admit that they feel energized after visiting Niagara Falls. Scientists explain that the reason people feel this way is because of the movement of the water, specifically the splashing, which releases negative ions into the air.
These are negative ions released by waves on the beach and rainwater during heavy storms. This release is called the Lenard effect, when people absorb these negative ions, it will bring positive effects to the body. On the contrary, positive ions also leave some negative effects on the body such as artificial light from electronic devices.
