似動畫冰雪奇緣！尼加拉瀑布震懾冰雪美景

週末東北地區氣溫驟降導致各地一片「冰冷的景象」，尤其尼加拉瀑布總長176英尺全部凍結的震懾景觀，吸引遊客前往觀看這如同冰雪奇緣般的美景。

「空氣中的地表水和霧變成了冰，但仍然有大量的水流動。」Buffalo大學地理系教授Stuart M. Evans說。並接續表示：「組成尼加拉瀑布的水量加上河流的不斷流動，使得完全凍結是很難的事情。」

根據USA尼加拉的報導，極冷天氣可以導致某些地區降了一堆冰雪，有些甚至已經達到40英尺的厚度。下面是一些網友在社群媒體上放出尼加拉瀑布的驚人照片：

Journey Behind the Falls | Photograph by Jose Marvin Ramos Evasco (@marvinevasco) . “This image was taken few minutes before sunrise at Niagara Falls, Ontario. I have been visiting this place almost every winter to capture its stunning view and icy waterfalls,” writes #YourShotPhotographer Jose Marvin Ramos Evasco. “This day was one of the worst weather conditions I have ever experienced in winter photography. A -25C temperature greeted us that morning. A very challenging experience, but in the end, I am still able to capture the beauty of this iconic waterfall.” This photo was submitted to our “For Your Shot Instagram” assignment.

It almost doesn’t look real; the building looks like a miniature on some sort of set against the large waterfall and massive amounts of snow. It’s an amazing perspective! Hands off to you for braving the cold. it was worth it!” — @natgeoyourshot Producer David Y. Lee
