On 15 June 2012, daredevil and circus legend Nik Wallenda (USA) became the first tightrope walker to cross Niagara Falls at the base – as opposed to crossing over the gorge, upriver, as previous funambulists have done. Wallenda walked 550 m (1,804 ft 5 in) from Goat Island in the USA, passing directly over the Falls, to Table Rock in Canada.
