They form the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.waterfallsthe international borderCanadaUnited StatesprovinceOntariostateNew YorkNiagara Gorge  From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie mostly on the Canadian side and the American Falls entirely on the American side, separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American side, separated from the other waterfalls by Luna Island. The international boundary line was originally drawn through Horseshoe Falls in 1819, but the boundary has long been in dispute due to natural erosion and construction.Horseshoe FallsAmerican FallsBridal Veil FallsGoat IslandLuna Island  is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York.

13 The White Cliffs of Dover  The White Cliffs of Dover are to the east and west of the town of Dover, an important English port.The cliffs are up to 107 metres high and are made of chalk.The cliffs have great symbolic value in Britain because they face towards Continental Europe across the narrowest part of the English Channel, where invasions have historically threatened and against which the cliffs form a symbolic guard. Because crossing at Dover was the primary route to the continent before the advent of air travel, the white line of cliffs also formed the first or last sight of England for travellers.BritainContinental EuropeEnglish Channel  The White Cliffs of Dover are to the east and west of the town of Dover, an important English port.The cliffs are up to 107 metres high and are made of chalk.The cliffs have great symbolic value in Britain because they face towards Continental Europe across the narrowest part of the English Channel, where invasions have historically threatened and against which the cliffs form a symbolic guard.

It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. CNN labeled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
