This time we visited the ice sculpture park.
There were intricate creations...
... as well as practical ice-items... like chairs!
An ice sculptor, demonstrating his craft with a chainsaw, explained that ice used for sculptures needs to be very strong. It comes, packed in cardboard boxes, from a Toronto company that sends ice around the world. Made from distilled water, this ice is frozen slowly, over a period of three days, the water in constant motion to eliminate bubbles.
Even making ice strong enough for sculpting is an art!
