Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge, spanning the border between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States. The largest of the three is Horseshoe Falls, also known as Canadian Falls, which straddles the international border of the two countries. The smaller American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls lie within the United States. Bridal Veil Falls are separated from Horseshoe Falls by Goat Island and from American Falls by Luna Island, with both islands situated in New York.
Located on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America that has a vertical drop of more than 50 metres (160 ft). During peak daytime tourist hours, more than 168,000 m3 (six million cubic feet) of water goes over the crest of the falls every minute. Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by flow rate.
The falls are 27 kilometres (17 mi) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York, and 121 kilometres (75 mi) south-southeast of Toronto, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York. Niagara Falls was formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean.
Niagara Falls is famed both for its beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Balancing recreational, commercial, and industrial uses has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 19th century.

I’ve been to two land border crossings and both times they aren’t as flashy or comfortable as an airport, but with a lot less hassle.

Looking at the numbered panels on the border fence at the International boundary in Jacumba California.
The house to the right is located in Mexico and I'm sure the border patrol monitors this area for tunnels into the United States from that house.

To the north (left) of the fence, it's Scotland. And I duly crossed it but in other places it's not quite so clear. That said, most of the journey for the next few hours was in what remained of England.
And this is looking east, down the beginning of the Coquet valley. To the right (including the hill straight ahead), it's the back of the army ranges at Otterburn.

This is the border between two parts of the planet, the Separatist half and the Republic half. The fighting is at a lull at the moment, so people are going back and forth between the two halves, visiting family and stuff. There's been a break in in one of the shops.
