From the Earth Times:
The power of the Niagara Falls draws millions of visitors a year in the summer, yet this natural wonder is even more impressive in the wintertime. The cascades are like a jewel in frozen splendour and the relentless mist which rises from them wraps all the trees and buildings around in a thick coat of ice. Amid this glistening, surreal landscape, millions of gallons of green water still thunder over the rocks every second as the Niagara River plunges to a depth of up to 52 metres on the Canadian side. For visitors the icy temperatures have advantages. For a start, there is no need to queue for hours at the kiosks to see the attractions. According to the Canadian Tourist Office, some 15 million people a year take a trip to the Niagara Falls but most of them come in the summer.
