frozen waterfall
Winter's suspended torrent
A frozen waterfall is a waterfall that has solidified into ice, typically during prolonged cold weather.
The cascading water freezes in place, creating dramatic formations of icicles and ice columns that attract ice climbers and photographers: We hiked to see the frozen waterfall in January.
The term also describes artificial ice structures built for climbing.
