Niagara Falls froze and became like Narnia (9 photos + 2 videos)
A cold cyclone has arrived in North America and now the eastern states of the United States are experiencing unusually low temperatures (10-15 degrees below zero). And at Niagara Falls, an “ice age” has generally set in: the spray freezes right in the air, settling on stones and trees and creating the illusion of freezing the water stream itself. Thousands of tourists come to see this unique spectacle.

Niagara Falls has frozen over before. Such cases were recorded in 1848 and 1912
