The Whirlpool Rapids.
Besides the 90° bend in the river at Niagara Falls, the only other large bend in the Niagara River is at the Whirlpool, where there is anothe 90° bend. This whirlpool gets up to 35 meters (120 ft) deep, with strong currents and rapids. Some of the wildest "Class Six" whitewater rapids in the world flow through the Great Gorge, from Niagara Falls, to the Whirlpool.
When they start diverting more water for the Hydro- electric plants on November 1st, the Niagara Whirlpool does something unusual, it changes direction. They call it the "Reversal Phenomenum". In April, when they resume the normal water flow, the whirlpool changes direction back to its normal counterclockwise flow.
The whirlpool aero car is a cable car that crosses the whirlpool, designed by a brilliant Spanish engineer in 1916, Leonardo Quevado.
