Frozen (Unfrozen) Lake Louise

DSC00528.jpeg

Looking out at Lake Louise it was still in an unfrozen state, but just to our right side was a completely frozen waterfall! How does that happen you might ask? Well I’m no scientist, but obviously a larger body of water takes longer and even much longer to freeze over than a waterfall. In the past I have walked on this lake when it was completely frozen over, which was in mid January (these photos were taken in November). I must admit, it is kind of an eerie feeling to be walking over an iced over lake Louise. Thanks for stopping by.

I'd probably not be confident enough to be walking on ice, Cuz I don't think I'd be confident that the weight of the snow will be able to hold, especially if there are others walking on it too. It's a great and astonishing feeling. Also, how many degrees does this need to be for the water to freeze to this extent?

Living here in western Canada, walking on ice from time to time is normal. Some are good at it, some are not. Myself I played hockey for many years, so ice is no biggie for me.

I don't think the angle or degree matter much when it comes to freezing, but I ain't no scientist either lol.

Very cool waterfall, frozen into icicles! Those are always fun to see in winter. I know some bigger falls people like to ice climb in the winter, I'll pass on that one!

Beautiful pictures, what a great place for a winter destination! As long as the ice is thick it's not a problem. The trick is to have someone teach you how to tell how the thick the ice is. I used to go ice fishing in my teenage years, it was cold but a lot of fun!

Ice fishing is somewhat common up here in the wild canadian wilderness. Still prefer the good old hiking/walking anyways. Thanks for stopping by.
