The Chena Hot Springs carvings were inside, the Ice Castle being cooled by, as Don explained, "an absorption cooler powered geothermically." One year, the owner of Chena Hot Springs experimented with how to most successfully accomplish it, and by the next year, he and his engineers were able to keep the ice from melting. They then added lighting, and some very interesting carvings came to life.
In contrast, we saw the images at the championships outside during the day. They are lighted at night, but we were not able to go back to see them. They were gorgeous during the day, however, and they gave us a very different look. Over the next few days, I will show you a few more images from both places.
This is a wolf creeping up on a herd of musk ox. Hard to tell from this angle, but it was a very intricate sculpture.
