10 stunning photos of frozen Niagara Falls

Due to the abnormal cold that reached Canada, Niagara Falls, which is considered the largest in the world, froze over.

The polar crater that covered the United States not only caused $5 billion in damage to the economy, but also claimed about 20 lives. For several days, the temperature in the continental US - from California to New York, dropped below normal by 14-19 degrees. America has not seen such frosts, similar to the Antarctic ones, for about 20 years. Niagara Falls froze for the first time in 100 years.
