Niagara FallsLake Ontario and Lake Erie are two of the Great Lakes. As water flows from one (Ontario) to the other (Erie), it drops over 60 metres along a width of one kilometre. This dramatic cascade of water is divided in half by Goat Island, which separates the eastern “American” falls from the western “Horseshoe” falls. Visitors to Niagara can admire the view by food, boat, raft, cablecar or even helicopter.Yellowstone National ParkYellowstone, in Wyoming, was the firs American national park to open. That was in 1872. Today, although there are 37 other national parks in the US, Yellowstone is still the largest, with an area of 9,000 square kilometers. One of its most popular attractions is “Old Faithful” – a hot water spring or “geyser” which spurts 35,000 litres of water 45 metres into the air every hour.BuffaloAt the start of the 19th century, around 75 million buffalo roamed the plains of the Mid-west. A hundred year later were nearly extinct – massacred in vast numbers y settlers who shot them for food, skins and sport. At one point the buffalo population fell below 1,000. Today, it stands at approximately 10,000. The buffalo is protected by the US government.The EvergladesThis area of swampland in southern Florida covers 80 kilometres between Lake Okeechobee and Key Largo. It’s home to a wide range of birds and animals, including lizards, otters, turtles, herons, raccoons, flamingoes and (the Everglades’ best-known and most dangerous inhabitants) over 10,000 alligators.Death ValleyThe driest place in the U.S.A is Death Valley in California.
