Niagara Falls Transforms into Frozen Wonderland Amidst Polar Vortex
- •Niagara Falls has entered a deep freeze due to a powerful polar vortex, pushing temperatures below -20°C.
- •The extreme cold has transformed the iconic landmark into a surreal winter spectacle with thick ice formations.
- •Videos and photos on social media show ice clinging to cliffs and railings, with the Niagara River partially frozen at edges.
- •Despite the ice, millions of liters of water continue to thunder over the falls, creating a striking contrast of flowing water and frozen surfaces.
- •The falls never freeze solid; the illusion is created by mist and spray freezing instantly on contact with surfaces.
Why It Matters: A polar vortex has turned Niagara Falls into a breathtaking icy spectacle, though the water continues to flow.
