The Area of Interest
Niagara Falls
Considered one of the seven forgotten wonders of the world, Niagara Falls is a breathtaking tourist destination. Located on the Niagara River, it acts as an international water barrier separating the United States from Canada. It is composed of two major sections, the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, and the American Falls on the U.S. side. These two sections are separated by Goat Island, a popular destination on the American side accessible by foot, car or trackless train. It derives its name from a herd of goats that was kept on the island in the late 1700s, but due to an extremely harsh winter, only one goat survived. Also included in Niagara Falls is another smaller waterfall called Bridal Veil Falls. At its base is the Cave of the Winds which provides a protective barrier from the runoff - and is a very kitschy place for people to get married – hence its name. The name Niagara is believed to be derived from “Niagagarega” who were a local branch of the Iroquois Nation that resided in the area when French settlers arrived in the 1700s.

Congratulations to last month’s winner, Kutalmis Saylam (two in a row, nice work!), who guessed the correct location of the Dubai Autodrome in the UAE (at ~25.0494 degrees N, 55.2324 degrees E) within 10 minutes of July’s release of GeoView!
Clue 1: The cost of this mega high-rise was over $1.5 billion! And its Grand Opening was in the middle of the global financial crisis of 2007-2010.
Clue 2: Over 17 world records are held here! Including the world’s highest nightclub on the 144th floor.
Clue 3: This amazing piece of architectural genius was designed by the same three people that had their hands in designing the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) in Chicago and the new One World Trade Center in New York City, among several other legendary high-rises.
