Events such as the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in China, Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, or the Sculpture Festival of Brugge in Belgium present snow and ice sculptures, and people come to visit them from every corner of the world.
The sculptures can take many forms: animals, famous landmarks, mythical creatures, and even whole buildings made of ice. The clarity and purity of the ice can sometimes give sculptures an almost translucent appearance, adding a touch of magic as they are illuminated by colored lights at night.
This is because ice sculptures demand such a level of precision and skill by the artists who have to work at a very fast pace because staying longer exposes the ice either to melting or cracking.
This is as the blocks of ice are shaped with the use of chainsaws, ice picks, and many other specialized tools, while snow sculptures often fall into place with compressing snow into molds or piling it up and carving.
The most salient feature about these sculptures is that despite being extremely ephemeral, they just take one's breath away with their dazzling attractiveness and truly astounding workmanship employed in their making.
