ʻO Niagara Falls kekahi o nā phenomena kūlohelohe loa o ka honua. Hana kilokilo ʻo ia me kona hanohano a me kona mana. Hele mai he mau haneli huakaʻi mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua i kēlā me kēia lā i kahi e kū ai kēia kia hoʻomanaʻo kū hoʻokahi a kū hoʻokahi hoʻi.
ʻO ka ʻike laulā e pili ana i ka Niagara Falls
ʻO Niagara Falls kahi paʻakikī o ʻekolu mau wailele. Aia ia ma ka palena o nā mokuʻāina ʻelua: ʻo USA (New York State) a ʻo Canada (Ontario) ma ka muliwai o ka inoa like. ʻO nā kaulike o kēia wahi ʻo 43.0834 kekelē ʻākau latitu a me 79.0663 kekelē. Hoʻohui ka wailele i nā loko i ʻāpana o ka ʻĀkau Nui ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa: ʻo Erie a me ʻInakona. Ma nā kapa o ka muliwai Niagara, ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā wailele ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā ʻāina ʻelua, aia ʻelua kūlanakauhale me ka inoa ʻo Niagara Falls.
Ke hele nei i Niagara Falls, pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kāu ala i mua, ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke hele ma aneʻi i nā ala ʻelua: ma ka lele ʻana i New York, a i ke kūlanakauhale Kanada ʻo Toronto. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā huakaʻi mai nā kūlanakauhale ʻelua, akā ʻaʻole pono ia e lawe iā lākou, ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻea i laila e nā pahi maʻamau.
He inoa ko kēlā me kēia o nā cascades ʻekolu o Niagara. Kapa ʻia nā wailele ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻo "ʻAmelika" a me "Fata". Aia ka Horseshoe Falls ma Kanada.
Holo ka wai Cascades mai kahi kiʻekiʻe ma luna o 50 mau mika, akā ʻo ka ʻaoʻao i ʻike ʻia he 21 wale nō ma muli o ka hoʻāhu ʻana o nā pōhaku i ka wāwae. ʻAʻole ʻo Niagara kekahi o nā wailele ʻoi loa o ka honua, akā ma muli o ka nui o ka nui o ka wai e hele ma waena o ia, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mana nui loa o ka Honua. I hoʻokahi kekona, hele ia ma ona iho ma mua o 5.5 tausani kūbita mika o ka wai. ʻO ka laulā o ka Horseshoe Falls he 792 mau mika, ka ʻAmelika ʻAmelika - 323 mau mika.
ʻO ke aniau i kahi o ka wailele ʻo ia ka ʻāina ʻona. I ke kauwela, mahana wale ma aneʻi, a i kekahi manawa wela, i ka hoʻoilo ke sub-zero ka mahana, a paʻa ka wai i ka wai. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele mai i aneʻi a puni ka makahiki, no ka mea i kēlā me kēia kau e nani ia i kāna ʻano ponoʻī.
Hoʻohana hoʻohana ʻia nā wai o Niagara e hāʻawi i ka ikehu i nā wahi kokoke o Kanada a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua kūkulu ʻia he mau mea kanu uila wai ma kahawai.
Mōʻaukala o ke kumu a me ka inoa
Ua ʻike ʻia ka muliwai Niagara a me ka Lakes Nui ʻAmelika Hema ma kahi o 6,000 mau makahiki i hala. Ua hoʻonāukiuki ʻia kā lākou hoʻokumu ʻana e ka glaciation Wisconsin. Ma ke ʻano he hopena o ka neʻe ʻana o ka glacier, kahi i kahili i nā mea āpau i kona ala, ua hoʻololi loa ʻia ke kōkua o kēia wahi. Ua hoʻopiha ʻia nā kahawai o nā kahawai i kēlā mau ʻāpana, a ma kekahi, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua hoʻonui ʻia lākou. Ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o nā aniani, hoʻomaka ka wai mai ka Lakes Nui e iho i Niagara. ʻO nā pōhaku i hana i lalo o ia mea palupalu i nā wahi, no laila ua holoi ka wai iā lākou, e hana ana i pali kūpikipiki - a ʻo kēia ke ʻano i kū mai ai ka palena ʻāina kaulana i ke ʻano o ka wailele.
ʻO nā ʻōlelo mua o Niagara Falls mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 17. I ka makahiki 1604, ka ʻāina nui, kahi e kau ai ka wailele, i kipa ʻia e ka huakaʻi a Samuel de Champlain. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia i kēia pūnaewele kūlohelohe i kāna puke pai mai nā ʻōlelo a nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i komo i ka huakaʻi. ʻO wau iho, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻo Champlain i ka wailele. I ʻeono mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻia kahi wehewehe kikoʻī no Niagara Falls e ka mōneka Katolika ʻo Louis Ennepin e huakaʻi ana ma ʻAmelika Hema.
Ua unuhi maoli ʻia ka huaʻōlelo "Niagara" mai ka ʻōlelo a nā Iroquois Indians ma ke ʻano "ke kani o ka wai." Manaʻo ʻia ua kapa ʻia ka wailele ma muli o ka lāhui ʻōiwi i noho kokoke, ka ʻohana Onigara.
Kino a pupule paha
Mai ka manawa i lilo i kaila no ka huakaʻi, a i ʻole ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 19, ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e ʻākoakoa i kahakai o Niagara Falls. ʻAʻole makemake kekahi o lākou e ʻike wale i kahi hana mana kū hoʻokahi o ke kūlohelohe, akā e hoʻāʻo hoʻi e hele i loko.
ʻO ka mea mua i hana ʻo ia ka stuntman ʻAmelika ʻo Sam Patch. Ua lele ʻo ia i loko o ka muliwai Niagara ma ka wāwae o ka hāʻule i Nowemapa 1929 a ola. Ke hoʻomākaukau nei ʻo Sam no ka lele, ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻike e pili ana i ka hana hoʻopunipuni ma mua o kona hoʻokō ʻia ʻana. ʻO ka hanana, e like me kāna mau hoʻolālā, e hele a nui nā poʻe. Eia naʻe, ua hōʻino nā kūlana ʻino maikaʻi ʻole i ka hana a ka stuntman. ʻAʻole nui ka poʻe i ʻākoakoa, a ʻaʻole kūpono ka uku i loaʻa iā Patch. No laila, hoʻokahi pule ma hope, ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia e hana hou i ka lele. Eia nō naʻe, ua pau ka lua o ka hoʻāʻo o ka wiwo ʻole e lanakila ma luna o Niagara. ʻAʻole i kū ʻo Sam, a ua ʻike ʻia kona kino he mau mahina wale nō i hala.
I ka makahiki 1901, ua hoʻoholo loa ʻo Annie Taylor he 63 ona makahiki e piʻi i ka wailele ʻoiai e noho ana i ka ʻeke. Ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, makemake ka lede e hoʻolauleʻa i kona lā hānau. Ua ola ka wahine, a ua iho kona inoa i ka mōʻaukala.
Ma hope o kēia hanana, ua hoʻāʻo nā mea ʻimi pīhoihoi e lanakila ma luna o Niagara Falls. Ua hoʻokau aku nā luna i ka pāpā ma luna o kēlā mau hana maʻalea. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻolei ka poʻe ʻaʻa iā lākou iho mai ka wailele i kēlā me kēia manawa. Ua make ka hapa nui o lākou, a ʻo nā mea i ola i hoʻopaʻi ʻia.
ʻO kahi mea hoihoi ka hoʻopakele kupaianaha ʻana o kahi keikikāne nona ka makahiki he ʻehiku i kapa ʻia ʻo Roger Woodward, ka mea i lawe hewa ʻia i Niagara Falls. He lole ola wale nō kona e komo ana, akā naʻe naʻe ua ola ke keiki.
Nā huakaʻi a me nā hoʻokipa
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi e hele mai i Niagara e kipa i ka wailele ponoʻī. Hiki i kēia ke hana ʻelua mai ka ʻaoʻao ʻAmelika a mai ka ʻaoʻao ʻo Kanada. Nui a hewahewa nā paepae e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke paʻi kiʻi i nā kahawai e hāʻule ana i lalo. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā kiʻi hoʻonanea loa mai ka papa nānā ʻo Rock Rock.
ʻO ka poʻe makemake e nānā pono i ka ʻumeʻume a manaʻo i ka ʻehu o nā jet iā lākou iho e pono e holo ma nā moku leʻaleʻa. Lawe ʻia nā mākaʻikaʻi i kēlā me kēia o nā cascades ʻekolu. Ma mua o ke kau ʻana i kahi moku leʻaleʻa, hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā me kēia mea he kapa huluhulu, akā ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopakele iā ʻoe mai nā mokulele ikaika o Niagara Falls. ʻO ka mea kupaianaha ka Horseshoe Falls.
ʻO kekahi huakaʻi e hoʻomanaʻo ʻia e kono i nā huakaʻi e ʻike iā lākou iho ma hope o ka wailele. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lele ma luna o kēia mea kūlohelohe e ka helikopa a i ʻole ka baluna ea wela. ʻO ke drawback wale nō o kēia ʻano leʻaleʻa ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe.
Pono ʻoe e hele wāwae ma ke Alahaka Ānuenue, aia ma kahi o kekahi mau haneli mau mika mai kahi hoʻokipa nui o Niagara. I ke anilā maikaʻi, hiki ke ʻike ʻia ke alahaka mai nā pae nānā.
ʻO ka moku ʻo Niagara Falls kahi home o nā hale hōʻikeʻike, nā kia hoʻomanaʻo aupuni a me nā parklands. ʻO Queen Victoria Park ka mea makemake nui ʻia e nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi. Aia ia ma Kanada. Maʻaneʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke hele wāwae i waena o nā pua a me nā kumulāʻau, noho i loko o kahi cafe a ʻike i ka mea hoʻohihi nui o kēia wahi mai ka papa nānā.
Hoʻolaʻa nui ʻia nā hale hōʻikeʻike kokoke i ka moʻolelo o ka loaʻa a me nā mea hoihoi e pili ana i ka Niagara Falls. I loko o ia mau mea hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi hōʻuluʻulu o nā mea i hoʻāʻo ʻia e nā koa wiwo ʻole e lanakila i ka wailele. A ʻo nā kiʻi wax hoʻi o ka poʻe e pili ana ke ola me ka monument kūlohelohe kaulana.
Paipai mākou e ʻike iā Angel Falls.
He mea hoihoi nō hoʻi ʻo Niagara Falls ke ʻike ʻia i ka pō. I ka pō, hōʻike ʻia kahi mālamalama maoli ma aneʻi. Ua hoʻomālamalama ʻia nā mokulele me nā kala ʻokoʻa e hoʻohana ana i nā kukui kukui. Kupaianaha maoli kēia mau mea.
I ka hoʻoilo, ʻaʻole nani iki ka wailele. ʻO Niagara kahi wailele hau hau hapa. ʻO kona mau kihi wale nō ke uhi ʻia me ka hau. I waenakonu o ka cascade, hoʻomau ka kahe ʻana o ka wai i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. No ka manawa holoʻokoʻa o ka mōʻaukala i ʻike ʻia o ka wailele, no ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa maʻamau, ʻekolu manawa paʻa loa ia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kahi huakaʻi huakaʻi i Niagara i ka hoʻoilo, akā i kēia manawa o ka makahiki hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i kahi hoʻā ahi. Hoʻohuli ʻia ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana o nā wailele i kēia mau lā ma kahi kokoke i ka uaki, a lele aʻe nā ahiahi he nui i ka lani.
ʻO Niagara Falls kekahi o nā wahi kūlohelohe nui a ikaika i ka honua. ʻAʻole e waiho ka nani i nā mea mākaʻikaʻi ʻoi loa. I ka manawa ma kona wāwae, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻole i ka ikaika piha a me ka mana o kēia hanana kūlohelohe. ʻO nā ʻōnaehana kūkulu hou kokoke i ka mea e hiki ai ke lilo i kahi huakaʻi me ka hoʻomanaʻo a hoʻomanaʻo ia no ke ola holoʻokoʻa.
