That's pretty amazing stuff! I'd love to do something like that and take my camera along. Have you seen frozen planet in Canada? Some of the ice scenery in that and the amazing wildlife has been incredible.

Yes, I can nearly do that in my garden shed here in Canada!

[QUOTE=GeoffWessex;69810]Yes, I can nearly do that in my garden shed here in Canada![/QUOTE]You just reminded me of the very cold, damp winters in Kingston. We used to stop in at the bank cash machine lobbies to get warm on our way home from downtown.

This is my 6th winter in Kingston and, for the past five, you'd be right.... but we've only had one snowfall so far this year and haven't really gone much below zero (except for a few nights). Strange. Of course, we'll get hit soon.

And there was me thinking Kingston was in Jamaica. :D

22 Kingstons in the USA..... 2 in Scotland.... 16 in England..... 9 in Australia..... 3 in New Zealand.... 3 in Canada.... and one in Jamaica. Possibly the most common town/city name in the English speaking world. Easy mistake! I'm in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston,_Ontario"]this one[/URL].

That waterfall is only a few hours from me. I have been there in the summer and winter - either time of year it looks amazing.

Also saw the documentary about their adventures ice climbing at the falls.
