This is how Niagara Falls looks on a clear sunny evening; however when the temperature drops way below freezing, the cold can even stop - in a fashion - this thunderous flow in its tracks.
These images were taken in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
As you can just see, the river isn't frozen solid. What happens is that a crust of ice forms over parts of the falls, and the spray freezes into fantasic natural sculptures.
And the freezing of Niagara is not just an historical event: this photos was take in 2008!
Bring on Springtime!
You know it's cold when Niagara Falls freezes
