Canada's Snocano

Canucks joke endlessly about how cold Canada gets in the wintertime, and after seeing this picture, it’s abundantly clear why Canada is often referred to as the ‘Great White North.’ The nickname is justified for anyone who has survived a winter in British Columbia. But maybe the bitter winter cold is worthwhile after all? It’s not everywhere that a waterfall creates an ice cone, particularly one that collapses inward to such spectacular effect.

While most tourists come to see the pictured Helmcken Falls in the summer, brave souls would be well rewarded for bearing the lingering March cold to check out something like this in person. It's what we like to call a snocano - a volcano of snow!
