North America is going through a harsh winter spell, and as a result, parts of the famous Niagara Falls have frozen, giving the waterfall a surreal look.
Situated at the border between the US state of New York and the Canadian state of Ontario, the falls are always a major international tourist attraction. But the stunning scene of the frozen falls is also drawing a huge number of tourists.
