    Niagara Falls Was Frozen in 1911

    This photograph is one of two things. Either it’s another amazing piece of Photoshop trickery, or it’s an authentic capture of an extraordinary event. I’ve never been to the falls. Does anyone know if a frozen Niagara Falls is indeed possible?

    This is a photoshop trick. If Niagara froze the way it looks here, we would probably have witnessed one of the biggest floods in the history of the region somewhere upstream of the falls.

    I have visited the falls twice and It is so gigantic that no severe winter could freeze it up the way it looks here.

    But this site confirms these pics are genuine.

    It is difficult to believe it could freeze up the way I see it in the pics. Here is a video of frozen Niagara.

    The pictures are claimed to be from 1911 period. The video must have been shot much later.
