How do waterfalls freeze?

After visiting Iceland last year you could see frozen waterfalls coming down from the cliffs? How do these freeze since surely they have too much kinetic energy?

On a mountain path, the mud had frozen into these structures. How did they form?

While walking in the Cairngorms, a path had muddy puddles one day, and was frozen the following day. Parts of the path were the mixture of ice, air and gravel pictured. The structures are noticeable, because they collapse when stood on. They are different to any normal frozen puddles, because they are not solid ice, nor are they a layer of ice with water or air beneath. The pictured piece measures about 65x65 mm.

If the temperature is above 0 degrees c, and the wind chill factor puts the temp below 0, does water freeze?
