Niagara Falls has partially frozen this week due to the icy weather in southern Ontario, creating a mesmerizing sight of ice formations and frosty mist around the iconic landmark.
The freezing temperatures have caused the surface water and mist to combine, forming large ice mounds and stunning icicles along the edges of the Falls. Some of these ice formations are reported to be over 40 feet thick, while water continues to flow beneath the icy surface.
This phenomenon, which occurs only when there are consecutive days of temperatures below freezing, is a rare event. The most famous complete freeze of Niagara Falls occurred in 1848, when an ice jam stopped the water flow for 30 hours.
Visitors hoping to witness this rare icy sight can visit the Tunnel viewing platform at the Niagara Parks Power Station. For an up-close experience, tourists can take the Journey Behind the Falls to see the ice formations from just a few feet away.
