The incredible force of nature turned the normally raging waterfall in Eidfjord, Norway, into a wall of ice by the harsh Scandinavian winter - where temperatures dropped to minus 15 celcius.
At 650 feet high the ice wall had not previously been successfully climbed until recently when extreme sports enthusiasts, Will Gadd and Christian Pondella, defeated the frozen rapids using just their ice picks.
Christian, an adventure sports photographer from California, said "Temperatures fell to minus 10 while we were climbing so it did get tough. But luckily we wrapped up nice and warm. The waterfall was incredibly beautiful and very photogenic so I spent most of my time stopping to take pictures while Will powered on to the top. We felt on top of the world and its amazing to think that any other time of year this whole thing would have been a raging torrent of water".
