Iguazu Falls
Iguazu falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River which is on the border of the Brazilian state of Parana and a province in Argentina called Misiones. These falls divide the river into upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River flows near the city of Curitiba (Capital of Parana). The river flows through Brazil but most of its waterfalls are on the Argentinian side. Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River is kind of like a boundary between Argentina and Brazil. The name “Iguazu” comes from Tupi words meaning Water and Big.
Iguazu Falls are located where the Iguazu River flows over the edge of the Oarana Plateau which is around 23km upriver from Iguazu’s confluence. About half of the entire river’s flow falls into “The Devil ’s Throat”. “The Devil’s Throat” is a long and narrow U-Shaped chasm (fissure) which is 82 metres high, 150m wide and 700m long.
Fun Fact – Iguazu Falls have been featured in any movies including Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This is “The Devil’s Throat”
There are 275 waterfalls along a 2.7km span of the Iguazu River!

Lawrence River. The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world. In order of size, they include Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. These waterways along with the St Lawrence River are an important transportation route from the Atlantic Ocean to Canada's interior. Between Lake Eire and Lake Ontario, the Niagara River plunges over a rocky ledge and forms the famous Niagara Falls. In the far north we find the Hudson Bay Lowlands, which are cold, flat, and swampy, with very few cities. This area is home mainly to Inuit and other indigenous peoples who have lived there for centuries. The St Lawrence Lowlands have excellent transportation facilities and lie near markets in the United States. These features help make the region a manufacturing centre, producing three- fourths of Canada's manufactured goods
