Four Photos of a Frozen Niagara Falls - Neatorama

I can't imagine how cold it would have to be to freeze such a large, fast flowing river and falls. These pictures were taken in 1911 before there was a dam in place, so the water would have been much higher and much faster.

They can indeed control how much water goes over the falls. At night, they cut the flow right down.

If it was the American side that froze, keep in mind that 90% of the water goes over the Canadian falls.

It appears that the photos are probably real, although the date is in question...maybe a small detail to some, but still. Here is more info:

I've walked on the ice at Niagara Falls before. It's really neat, but ridiculously cold, esp with all that wind. I didn't stay outside long.
