RIVER OF ICE at Niagara Falls, PART 1 (Jan.21, 2019)

- Scenes of the 'River of Ice' at Niagara Falls, Jan.21, 2019. While appearing calm from the distance, it is nothing but a fierce, brutal battle between water and ice down in the gorge. After several days of recent cold weather (today's daytime temp. was -12C), it is the ideal scenario for an Ice Bridge to form. (On Jan.17th the river was completely clear of ice) This is how the Niagara River usually looks just pre-Ice Bridge, as the ice shelves on either bank build up and out, slowly constricting the main center flow to the point where the surface ice stops moving. At that point, the river, still flowing under the stopped ice, continues to deposit more ice from underneath, causing the entire ice sheet to rise and solidify. As I was watching, the river ice had almost come to a stop and was barely moving (as seen at the beginning of the video). But the river's central current pushed through, and slowly, the massive accumulation of river ice got moving again. This process repeats itself over and over until the right circumstances line up for an Ice Bridge to form. This video encompasses over 2 hours of real-time river activity. Enjoy!

Im glad this video has natural sounds no artifical music added thank you so much.
Fascinating comments on the Flow.
Trip there back in 2000. Really amazing. Cliches don’t do it justice. The majesty of the falls and the power. Unforgettable.
I HATE winter with every bone in my body but this here is so very cool, Niagara Falls Is 1 of the greatest and most fun places my Fiance and I have visited and we cannot wait to come back to visit again!!!!!!
Wow, words can't explain the beauty of nature. Thank you for sharing.
i Love Canada i Love this Place👌🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you So Much for Recording & for Sharing.
Have A Blessed Healthy & Safe Year with your Family & Friends.
Thanks so much, C! I appreciate that!
Amazing force of nature.
Niagara is beautiful every single day of the year.
Great video. Love Niagara falls... Full of peace✌🍺
Wow beautiful hats off to u dear sir we r in india my dream is to visit tis fairy land once hope god will make it happen but thru tis beautiful post of yours i hve a feel that i am thete
I am so lucky, I live only a block and a half up from the Niagara Gorge, 15 minute walk up to the American Falls. The ice is a common sight for us, but still darn impressive. Do come and visit, but be prepared - it's COLD!
I visited the fall last Friday(feb 1st). It was bitter cold -16 celsius). The river was all frozen. The American side of fall was frozen almost 80%, and Canadian fall, maybe 10%. I live 140 kms, away from the fall, took 1/2 day off wrok just to experience the amazing nature's gift.

Wow... this is amazing. Thanks for sharing
WOW beautiful winter ❄️❄️❄️❄️🙏
That was pretty amazing, thank you.
Much appreciated! I'm glad you liked it!
How beautiful . Nayagra is a very beautiful wate fall
Such a nice krishma of nature ..awesome ..
Wow, just beautiful.
It is about time.. I saw a picture of Niagara in November and she hadn't started freezing yet. I guess this latest arctic blast finally did the trick..LOL . Cool Video.
Thanks!
@Andrew Theberg Thanks man!! I really enjoyed the input. It is been since 1981 that I had been to see the Niagara area. I would like to see it again in the future. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing
Great video, RightInNiagara! I wonder what the consistency of the ice on the river is. Could a person stand on it, or is it slushy. I can't imagine the ice floe has much time to solidify being so close to the falls like that. Great job with the time-lapses, zooming and panning. It is a very interesting video that I'll bookmark and watch again!
Thanks dj! if it has time to build, it will be very strong. If you look at the margins, where the ice shelf is, that's at least 10 ft thick at the edge. There's more ice below the waterline.The thing is, the power of the river keeps sweeping the ice formation away, so it is amazing it even manages to start at all!! I'll have another vid coming up soon showing the scene as it was on Jan.22nd

Are lighting the Falls too? It's still so pretty. Thank you for braving the cold.
Yes the falls are always lit up in the evenings
Is it suppose to be that cold there?
This is a normal winter scene.
Looks like the water particles are warmer than the air, therefore forming steam. They may be at 0C and the air at -12C.
Oh how beautiful
I just visited niagara falls today in the morning and the night i am at a hotel right now and its cold
Brrrrrrrrrrrr looks cold
Why did you film mostly the American side of the Falls? Why not the Canadian Niagara Falls?
3:54 looks like cloud from the top of mountain
William salazar how u said that it is global warming is said that this is the impact of lunar eclipse our indian astrology firstly said that this lunar eclipse will affects water system on earth
O god solute for nature amazing
so weird, it feels like the video is played in reverse
The river ice IS moving to the left, which is downstream. but, along the U.S. bank. the river actually does flow UPstream in the area near the Adams tunnel outflow (as seen about 04:20) This characteristic though, occurs year round, and has nothing to do with winter weather; but, when there is ice on the river, it becomes easier to actually see these opposite flows at the same time.
Hi - this is incredible video! I‘m with ABC News - Did you take this video yourself? If so, we'd like permission to use it across our platforms/partners. We’d be happy to credit you. If you agree, comment "agree". Thanks!
Hi. This is my video; and is copyrighted by me. This video is not available for free. It is distributed and monetized on my UA-cam channel. You may link to this video on my You Tube channel, but ABC may not copy this video by putting it on your server. Thank you (Jan.22, 2019)
@@RightInNiagara But . . . But . . . After two whole days you've only got 1,688 views, so you'll only get peanuts. Whereas ABC News will pay you squillions of dollars if you play your cards right 😎
dav snow: My video went 'live' at about 3am on Jan.22. So, exactly 2 days later (3am Jan.24), the view count is around 21, 200. I am happy that people seem to like it.
(ABC's overlords are the Disney people, who in fact DO have squillions {!!} to spend on content!)
@@RightInNiagara : I'm glad things are looking up, and views are rapidly increasing. It's quite likely that you'll be the "go to person" for future footage for ABC and other news outlets, now that they know you can hold a camera steady, compose an interesting image and keep it in focus. The audio commentary was interesting too. Good luck.
Smile!
Al Gore should be proud of himself, this is global warming 101.
Are you really that stupid?
Are you? Nobody believes that crap anymore.
+Flo Florence okay, how about Ocasio Cortez, thee
world as we know it, with cease to exist in twelve years.
@@missinginbc except for, you know, the science community. But what do they know. God contols the weather anyhow. God and the orange geriatric pres.
Maybe when you get to Junior High you will take a Science class and learn the difference between weather and climate. Hope so.
It’s winter ❄️
Hi indah BGT snowbay ice .
CANADA falls much nicer and looks awesome
We so PROUD of that 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
True, I was there this past summer. Canadian side has much better views.
Google John L Casey if you want to know why it's this cold when the earth is supposed to be getting warmer.
Mother nature changing her dresses.....these signs are warnings from her...
Warnings... of WHAT exactly?! The formation of an ice bridge at Niagara is in no way an unusual event - it is a common occurrence during winter, and ought not be considered frightening.

no one going over the falls today!!!!
Where is all the Global Warming Hog Wash at?.
Global warming causes more unstable weather which can cause extremes of cold too. There average temperature of the earth IS rising from global warming but the knock on effects of that are very complicated.
It is not Global warming but Climate Change which causes extreme weather, in the north we get "polar vortex". which means extreme colds, like we had in Manitoba of -55 Celsius and in Australia a extreme heat of +50 Celsius. How long can this earth survive in these extremes?
When it melts it would be dangerous to mankind...
ARREST TRUDEAU NOW
DO people still kill themselves there?
Just global warming
GLOBAL WARMING GUYS!!!
