$LaSalle Canyon Falls, a 20-foot (6-meter) waterfall in Starved Rock State Park, Illinois, freezes in winter. Viewed from behind, the ice thins as the icefall thaws and can become almost translucent, forming dramatic green and blue colors as the ice of varying thickness refracts sunlight to different degrees.$

$LaSalle Canyon Falls, viewed from behind, begins to thaw in late winter in Starved Rock State Park near LaSalle, Illinois. The 20-foot (6-meter) waterfall can completely freeze in winter. As it thaws, the ice thins and can become almost translucent, forming dramatic green and blue colors as the ice of varying thickness refracts sunlight to different degrees. Here, part of the icefall has melted as is once again flowing as a waterfall.$

$Several ring-billed and herring gulls fly over Dry Falls in Grant County, Washington, which at one time was believed to be the largest waterfall that ever existed. Geologists believe that during the last ice age, ice dams resulted in giant glacial lakes in eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana. When those dams failed, as they did dozens of times, glacial lakes Columbia and Missoula rapidly drained, creating a cataclysmic flood. During the floods, what is now Dry Falls was a spectacular waterfall, 400 feet high (121 meters), 3.5 miles wide (5.63 kilometers). Water may have raced over its massive cliffs at 65 miles an hour (105 km/hour), a flow that's estimated to be ten times as powerful as all the world's current rivers combined. The cliffs shown here represent a small fraction of the ice age waterfall. Dry Falls Lake is pictured in the foreground; Green Lake is visible in the background.$
