Although 3,160 tons of water flow continuously over the falls every second, the mist from the cascading water freezes as it lands on the surrounding rocks, railings and everything else in its path, resulting in breathtaking images of "frozen Niagara Falls" being spread around the world.
Tourists come from far away to see the winter beauty of Niagara Falls, an icy wonderland. They enjoy the spectacular frozen views at Prospect Point. Although technically the falls aren't frozen, everything around them is dripping with icicles and covered in snow, like something out of a wintry Disney movie.
With temperatures expected not to rise above the teens in the next week or so, the winter wonderland will continue to be there for brave tourists.
