WATCH: Five-storey frozen fountain draws visitors

The frozen scenery is drawing visitors to the 32.5-metre middle falls and the 21-metre upper falls on the southern end of the scenic Letchworth gorge 72 kilometres southwest of Rochester. The river is still flowing over the upper falls through a narrow channel of open water.

The ice volcano is nearby. The geyser-like fountain at the park’s Glen Iris Inn has formed a thick, 15-metre tall ice volcano thanks to one of the coldest February’s on record.
