Two extreme sports enthusiasts Will Gadd and Christian Pondella have conquered the 650 feet (200 meter) high frozen waterfall in Eidfjord, Norway, thus becoming the first to climb this ice climbing mecca. The usually raging waterfall was stopped dead in its tracks by the harsh Scandinavian winter when temperatures plummeted to minus 15 and has never been successfully climbed.
两名极限运动爱好者威尔 加德和克里斯蒂安 潘德拉日前爬上了位于高达650英尺(200米)的挪威埃德菲尤尔冰冻瀑布,从而使人类首次踏足这一冰瀑之颠。据了解,该瀑布常年奔腾,但斯堪的纳维亚的严冬让气温降至零下15℃,瀑布因此冻结成冰柱。在此之前,还没有一个攀爬者成功到达顶峰。
