Niagara Falls is small (relatively speaking)

Chris gets a daily email from Ripley’s Believe It or Not! with an interesting fact. The one he got yesterday mentioned Niagara Falls:

The frozen waterfall of Mount Beardmore in the Antarctic has a height of more than ten thousand feet—sixty times that of Niagara Falls.

Mount Beardmore is essentially now a high glacier, but that sure is tall! Niagara Falls would look puny next to it.
