Niagara Falls Frozen 2015 - It looks like snow queen, Elsa from "Frozen," let it rip through the weekend. The latest attraction, Niagara Falls, is drawing even more attention. The frozen version of the falls has drawn quite the crowd. So would it be possible to go skiing on the frozen Niagara Falls?
1. First off, the Niagara Falls frozen 2015 isn't really frozen all the way in. According to ABC News, the falls have simply formed a crystalline cascade. A river still runs through what appears to be frozen all the way.
2. Given there is a river still running through the Niagara Falls frozen 2015, a number of ice cutters work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to make sure that the Falls don't jam up. Everyone basically knows that the Niagara River is a vital source of hydropower - most especially during the winter.
3. The Niagara Falls frozen 2015 isn't the first time to happen. Back in 1912, an ice bridge that formed along the river had connected Canada and the US. A number of tourists had even managed to enjoy drinking on the ice bridge to sledding. Yet, due to the accident which claimed the lives of three people, sledding on the frozen falls has been highly prohibited. A story of the incident has been published in a graphic novel online, called "Hecock."
4. Despite the ban, two Canadian ice climbers were allowed to hike the Niagara Falls frozen 2015 just last month. These two have been identified as Sarah Hueniken and Will Gadd. The pair had climbed a nine meter frozen section of the Horseshoe Falls.
5. The Niagara Falls frozen 2015 isn't expected to thaw anytime soon. Reports by the Weather Network claim that temperatures are set to dip at -23 degrees Celsius.
For those who want to check out the Niagara Falls frozen 2015, now is the best time to do it.
