Weather in Ukraine

Recently, in Ivano-Frankivsk region, near the village of Maniava, one of the highest waterfalls in Ukraine - the Maniava waterfall - froze due to severe frosts.

The air temperature in the region dropped to -21...-23°C, leading to the complete freezing of the waterfall. The water turned into long, shiny icicles, creating a magical winter landscape.

This unique natural phenomenon attracts numerous tourists and local residents.

Recall that at the end of January, Niagara Falls also froze and was covered in ice.
