The image shows the Niagara River
that connects Lake Erie to Lake
Ontario , snaking around Goat Island , in the lower left of the full
image. Most of the river's water plummets over the
Canadian/Horseshoe Falls, but some diverted water spills over
American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls down stream. Every second, more
than two million liters of water plunges over the Horseshoe Falls
segment of Niagara Falls creating one of the world's largest
waterfalls as well as eating away as much as two meters of rock per
year. The image was acquired August 2, 2004.Photo/Space Imaging
