United States Declaration of Independence, given to the United States by the people of
France to represent the friendship between the two countries established during the
American Revolution. It represents a woman wearing a stola, a radiant crown and
sandals, trampling a broken chain, carrying a torch in her raised right hand and a tabula
ansata tablet, where the date of the Declaration of Independence JULY IV is inscribed, in
her left arm. Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes visitors,
immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by ship. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi
sculpted the statue and obtained a U.S. patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin—chief
engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower—
engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of
copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique, where a
malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side.

Niagara Waterfall

The Niagara Falls are voluminous waterfalls on the Niagara River, straddling the
international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New
York. The falls are 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75 miles
(120 km) south-southeast of Toronto, Ontario, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls,
Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.

Niagara Falls is composed of two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe
Falls, the majority of which lies on the Canadian side of the border, and American Falls
on the American side. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American
side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island.

Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation
(the last ice age), and water from the newly-formed Great Lakes carved a path through
the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean.
