You can always look at how the fire burns and how the water flows. But what if the lamp is off, the calendars are lying, and the falling streams of waterfalls turn into motionless ice blocks? Admire!
There are many waterfalls on Earth that freeze with the onset of winter. First, frost fetters the river that feeds the waterfall. Gradually, the flow slows down, reducing the volume of falling water, which no longer even falls, but flows over the ice. As a result, when the temperature drops even lower, the majestic natural creations are completely covered with ice, forming bizarre columns and even walls of ice.
Fang Falls in the USA turns into a massive block of ice every winter, the diameter of which reaches 8 meters and the height is about 50 meters. The Valaste Waterfall in Estonia creates a real fairytale ice forest. Chegem waterfalls in Kabardino-Balkaria in the cold season turn into an incredible ice wall, impressive in its scale and grandeur.
The world famous Niagara Falls was completely frozen for the only time in its history: when unprecedented frosts hit America in 1911, they fettered the raging water element. Then thousands of people from all over the world rushed to the frozen giant. Godafoss Waterfall - a real Icelandic pearl - attracts more tourists in the cold season than in the warm one. And no wonder: the frozen falling jets create a magnificent and slightly surreal sculpture.
In what form does the waterfall inspire you more delight: in the flowing or in the frozen?
