Did You Know Niagara Falls Is a Child of the Last Ice Age? 🌊❄️ (Video)

About 12,000 years ago, massive glaciers melted and carved out the Great Lakes.

The water rushed toward the Atlantic, finding a shortcut—what we now call Niagara Falls.

Back then, the falls were actually 7 miles downstream near Lewiston. Over thousands of years, the roaring water eroded the rock and carved its way back to today’s spot.

So when you stand at Niagara, you’re looking at a waterfall still shaping the land—a living reminder of the last Ice Age. 🌍💦
