💦 Niagara Falls without water, 1969 💦
In 1969, the US Army Corps of Engineers constructed a temporary dam to conduct a scientific survey on Niagara Falls. Little did they expect that this would attract over 100,000 curious people wanting to see what the falls looked like without water! The last time the Falls had been exposed was in March 1848 when an ice jam from Lake Erie stopped the Niagara River. 🌊🏞️💧
