The Polar Vortex that froze Niagara Falls in the United
States and Canada made much news in the first week of January. It was a
cold start to the year and brought some of the coldest winters to many
parts of the northern hemisphere, even as the southern hemisphere
experienced a blazing summer. While snow and ice are commonly seen on
the Niagara Falls, it is not always that the waterfall completely
freezes over. On the other hand, frozen waterfalls are a common feature
of winter landscapes in Iceland, Scandinavia, Siberia and the northerly
reaches of Zanskar in Ladakh.
Enjoy this gallery of exquisitely picturesque winter waterfalls from the world over.
