The 'boom' is a floating barrier that keeps the ice from Lake Erie in Lake Erie. If it come down on it's own it will damage the water intakes closer to Niagara falls. By placing the 'boom' in, man controls when the ice starts moving down the river.
I always like to share pictures of this. Last year, there was very little ice left when the boom' came out so no pictures of my "mini glaciers." This year, I think it will be pretty neat.
So, without further adieu I give you the Niagara River and it's glacier ice from Lake Erie.
Doesn't this look like a marshmallow on an island? |
