Narrow but higher than Niagara Falls. The ice gets much thicker than in this image later in the winter. On a nice sunny week-end day, many ice climbers escalade those falls! They make for great images axctually. In the summer, the area at the bottom is converted in a spectacle place with seats and from the top of the falls, amazing fireworks displays are done in the summer. The park on top of the falls, on your right , is where the Englishmilitary camped before attacking the French on the Plains of Abraham. Between the two, there was then only one way to get there and it was through a very narrow chanel on the other side of Iles d'Orléan. At night, a young English officer started mapping the chanel using ropes and weights to determined the depth and way through that chanel so that the English navy could navigate their vessels. He was a vanguard in that type of mapping ... eventually, that young English officer suceeded and had an amazing life ... Sir Thomas Cook who went on to discover much of the world then, notable the Pacific ocean and its islands.
