About the Book

"Todo temblando llegué a las cataratas del Niágara y ¡oh, qué escena! Mi sangre aún se estremece, aunque no soy un cobarde, ante la grandeza del poder del Creador; y contemplé inmóvil esta nueva demostración de la fuerza irresistible de uno de Sus elementos". -John James Audubon

"Son las Cataratas del Niágara. Es una de las maravillas naturales más bellas del mundo. ¿Quién no querría cruzarlo? -Nik Wallenda

América del Norte está llena de maravillas naturales, pero pocas inspiran tanto asombro como las Cataratas del Niágara, las más famosas del continente. Compuestas por tres cascadas separadas (Horseshoe Falls, American Falls y Bridal Veil Falls), las cataratas del Niágara pueden presumir de tener el caudal más rápido del mundo, dejando caer 6 millones de pies cúbicos de agua por minuto desde una altura de hasta 185 pies. Situadas en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Canadá, las Cataratas del Niágara no son sólo un lugar turístico de primer nivel, sino también una fuente de energía hidroeléctrica que atrajo a científicos como Nikola Tesla, que esperaban aprovechar la energía de las cascadas. De hecho, las Cataratas del Niágara son tan poderosas que están erosionando el suelo bajo ellas, hasta el punto de que dejarán de existir en unos 50.000 años.

Las Cataratas del Niágara son un subproducto del retroceso de los glaciares hace unos 10.000 años, y han sorprendido a la gente desde que la zona estuvo habitada. Se cree ampliamente que Niágara es una palabra derivada de la tribu Mohawk, pero las personas más famosas ahora asociadas con las cascadas son aquellos que se han atrevido a descender por las cataratas de una forma u otra. En las cataratas, tanto aficionados como especialistas profesionales han saltado sobre ellas en barriles, algunos con éxito y otros con fatalidad, y un museo local incluso ha conservado algunos de los barriles utilizados en los intentos. Con la misma audacia, otros han intentado caminar sobre la cuerda floja a través de las cataratas.

Cataratas del Niágara: la historia de las cascadas más famosas de América del Norte recorre la historia de la región y su establecimiento como parque. Junto con fotografías de personas, lugares y eventos importantes, aprenderá sobre las Cataratas del Niágara como nunca antes, en muy poco tiempo.
