It appears as if Fairbanks is the ice carving capital of the world, if ice statuary is any indication. While we were there, they were hosting the World Ice Carving championships. Throughout the city, we saw ice statues, and at Chena Hot Springs, we visited the ice carving museum. At night, statues throughout the city had special lighting that made them glisten in the snow.
The statues take an extraordinary amount of time and effort to carve, all to melt in the sun at a later date. The winning sculpture at the Fairbanks festival included an amazing porcupine. Inconceivable how the man managed to carve the spines.
I will be posting random ice sculptures throughout my next few blogs, as we found them amazing.
