frozen waterfalls

Wintertime climbing destinations

Frozen waterfalls are waterfalls that have solidified into ice, typically during prolonged cold weather.

They form dramatic vertical ice formations that attract ice climbers and photographers.

The phrase also describes the appearance of icicle formations cascading down cliff faces or buildings: The frozen waterfall gleamed blue-white in the winter sun.
