The Niagara River, separating the United States from Canada, flows from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, plunging over a 182-foot precipice into a steep, canyon-like gorge. Niagara Falls is one the most famous natural wonders in the world and a traditional destination for honeymooners.
Goat Island, also known as Luna Island, divides the American portion of Niagara Falls in New York—the American Falls—from the Canadian portion in Ontario—Horseshoe Falls. Twenty percent of the world’s fresh-water supply flows over Niagara Falls. This torrential waterfall is also one of the world’s greatest generators of electric power.
This majestic stamp image of the roiling waters of Niagara Falls is one of 10 designs featured on the upcoming set of Scenic American Landscapes stamp cards. Scheduled for release on June 23, these beautiful postcards are the second set highlighting some of our nation’s more beautiful natural places.
