Amazing Ice Sculptures [Pics]

iasos.com — Some of these great ice sculptures are from Harbin, China, Alaska. And some from the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan. Seems, creativity is cross-cultural and universal!

    • etsboy1, on 08/31/2008, -1/+2I work at an Ice Factory where we do exactly the same things as this, the sculptors have amazing talent and the things they can make in one morning is amazing. We use about 6 tonnes (if not more) ice every week.

      • Karmavs, on 08/31/2008, -0/+3layouts don’t have a colour

  • erockchop, on 08/31/2008, -4/+3The Dragon one is ***** sick
  • Bluemanz, on 08/31/2008, -0/+9All of the smaller sculptures are from the Annual Ice Exhibit in Fairbanks, Alaska. I've grown up going to this thing every year, and I can tell you that it's an incredible experience. Artists from all over the world work for days in -20F weather to create these sculptures, and the results are breathtaking. I've seen an exact model of a praying mantis, a 36 foot tall Poseidon, The Last Supper, and hundreds more, all carved out of solid ice. If any of you happen to be visiting Alaska around February and March, I highly recommend taking the time to see this.
  • BedPost, on 08/31/2008, -3/+4I was so much more excited when I thought the thumbnail was a picture of a Death Star ice sculpture.
  • darkane, on 08/31/2008, -1/+2You laugh, but the design of that page is going to be the hot trend for 2009.
  • Stettenbauer, on 08/31/2008, -0/+5I was going to bitch about the abuse of the word "amazing"on digg,but those sculptures really are.

  • MisterEX, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1Just like a 4-year old ravaging his older brother's LEGO creation, I would take great joy in destroying these amazing creations.
