Rideau Falls, Canada
From series “Greatest Waterfalls on Earth”
A significant part of the famous waterfalls is usually located outside the settlements, but this rule has an exception - the beautiful Rideau Falls. The twin waterfalls are located in Ottawa, where the Rideau River empties into the Ottawa River. The Falls are divided by Green Island - one of the most unusual sights of the city. There are also numerous objects of historical interest near there.
The story of the name of the complex is very interesting, it was given by the famous French explorer Samuel de Champlain. When he arrived in Ottawa and saw the beautiful waterfalls, they reminded him «rideau» - a magnificent theatre curtain with many folds and laces. The Rideau River has inherited the name of the waterfall a little bit later.
