Niagara Falls in winter

Published 12:30 PM EST, Mon January 25, 2016
Link Copied!
Niagara Falls is a popular summer attraction, but it can be a spectacular scene in winter as well. An unprecedented cold front in February 2015 froze parts of the falls, drawing tourists to document the rare event. The minus 22-degree weather didn't stop iReporter <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1217563">Spencer Wyllie</a> from capturing this photo.

Most of the icy buildup was on the American and Bridal Veil Falls (as opposed to adjacent Horseshoe Falls), Wyllie said.

Only after taking a series of photographs did Perry realize  the falls were frozen. "It didn't strike me at first when I took this shot," he said. "I thought it looked like teeth, like a monster's smile."

The ice formations along the falls are mostly formed by mist. Perry and <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/19/travel/feat-great-lakes-niagara-falls-frozen/index.html">hundreds of tourists</a> from America and Canada made their way to see the frozen scene.

The National Weather Service said <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/19/travel/feat-great-lakes-niagara-falls-frozen/index.html">extremely cold Arctic</a> air allows for expansion of ice -- sometimes called an "ice bridge" -- across the river.
