It’s So Cold In North America That Niagara Falls Is Frozen, And It Looks Like Something From Narnia

Niagara falls are a spectacular place to visit at any time of year, however in winter, especially seriously cold winters like North America is currently experiencing, they are truly a breathtaking sight.

While the bitter temperatures have caused chaos in some areas and affected the New Year’s plans of millions, one upside to the big chill is the raw beauty of nature. Many areas of the falls have frozen, forming huge, elaborately shaped ice formations dangling precariously on the rocks, giving the impression of a Narnia-like winter fantasy land.

You can scroll down below to check out some of the gorgeous pictures for yourself, they make you feel cold just looking at them!

It a tourist walkway. This is where they wear raincoats and walk up stairs to see the falls closer in the summer. I'm 30 minutes from there.

The photos are stunning but "there's ice around Niagara Falls" is very very different to "Niagara Falls are frozen"

These falls are located on the Canadian-US border. The headline only mentions the US for some reason, even though it appears the bulk of the photos are taken from the Canadian side.

I think it's because saying that it is cold in Canada is not going to capture anybody's attention.

It looks like it says North America.. North America is a continent not a country.. North America includes the countries of US, Canada and Mexico as well as technically central america and the Caribbean..

The headline says "North America". Canada is in North America. (maybe they changed the headline, but It doesn't say anything about the United States)

It's easier to photograph the US falls from the Canadian side than from the US side.

It only says that on the outside of the FB post. Once you open the article kt says, "It’s So Cold In North America That Niagara Falls Is Frozen, And It Looks Like Something From Narnia" Plus, if someone doesn't know where Niagra Falls is, they have been living under a rock.

Americans tend to think Canada is always cold and expect everything there to be frozen tundra! lol Definitely gets more attention saying it's the US.

I came to say this. All the pictures are from Canada (the actual pretty side of the falls that people go to and care about....) then the title only mentions America. Where nobody gives a s**t. And nobody gives a s**t about America's side of the falls... It's pretty f*****g pointedly American (and by that I mean stupid. in Canada the two words are interchangeable).
