Few views of the falls capture the full sweep of the cataract as well as a panorama taken from the Canadian shore, where the Horseshoe Falls curve across the frame and the American Falls stand to the far side of Goat Island. Viewed from Canada, the scene shows how the Niagara River drops roughly 170 feet at the escarpment, a height that drew tourists to the region throughout the 19th century. Canadian-side vantage points became popular as rail and steamboat travel brought visitors north of the river, and the wide format suited the falls' sheer scale. Look closely at the mist rising from the base, which hints at the constant spray that shaped the gorge below.
