Niagara Falls - Frozen!!!

I went around to a few hoax sites to see if there was any reported accounts of the falls, and indeed there is ... verifying it. The pictures are known to be accurate, however they are not from 1911. This occurence didn't only happen once. This is the info from one site: During an extended winter cold snap a hardened crust of ice can accumulate over parts of the falls -- American Falls in particular -- creating an amazing, naturally-formed ice sculpture, if you will, that has been known to reach a thickness of 50 feet. Neither the river nor the falls ever freezes solid, mind you. The water continues to flow beneath the ice at all times, albeit reduced to a mere trickle on rare occasions when ice jams block the river above the falls. Historically, when this blanket of ice has spanned the entire Niagara River, the phenomenon has been known as the "ice bridge." Just as you see in the photos, people used to stroll and frolic on and around the frozen falls and even walk across the ice bridge, though no one has been allowed to do the latter since 1912, when the bridge unexpectedly broke apart and carried three tourists to their deaths. The picture you included is reported to be from March 1848. The picture I'm including is from 1936.

Wow! I live in the UK and have never seen the niagra falls, but would really love to one day. It must be an amazing site to see. I can't imagine it frozen....that must be quite an eerie site. That much water suspended in time!
