Illuminated, frozen Niagara Falls photos by Adam Klekotka

It's been cold recently. At Niagara Falls, the temperature was measured at -20ºC (plus wind). This led Toronto-based photographer Adam Klektka to travel and take some haunting and spectacular photos of the frozen falls:

Fire and ice. Niagara Falls looked like a different planet over the weekend. Maybe it’s because it was colder than on Mars. 😅

“The temperature was about -20C, but due to cold wind and high humidity, it felt like it was way below -30C,” Klekotka told Colossal. “After some time of shooting, my hands were really frostbitten. Because of the small buttons in the cameras, I had to handle them without gloves. Additionally the drops of water were freezing on the front glass of the lens and I had to clean it every couple of seconds.”

You can see more of these photos at Colossal, on Instagram, or at his online shop.
