Earlier this week, we noted that despite the fact Niagara Falls almost never freezes over entirely (it hasn't totally done so since the 1840s), it does regularly partially-freeze in winter. And when it does so, people flock to the area to gaze at the beautiful icy vistas it produces.
"I come here every winter but this is the most magnificent," visitor Heather Ferrara told AP yesterday. While it might be somewhat unlikely for you to hop in a cab and get to Prospect Point this afternoon, you can still enjoy the sights with the photos above.
You can also see a drone video of the area below, captured by Canadian videographer Brent Foster on Friday morning. "It was a very cold shoot, but we were very careful to keep flight times to a minimum and to keep my hands as warm as possible to maintain full control and stay safe during the flight," he told Slate. "I personally have never seen Niagara Falls frozen like that before. It was spectacular to capture."
And here are a few more videos of the Falls.
