3/17/2005: Massive ice sculpture in Alaska... collapses

A gent (whose real name I can't map to a Cellar userid, but thanks) suggested this item, which was Farked but deserves further attention anyway. An Alaskan guy started building an ice sculpture by turning on a sprinkler and leaving it on. With further sprinkler adjustment as needed, over 5 months the tower of ice was over 150 feet high.

full story a week ago

Here it is with a guy climbing on it so you can get the scope of it:

But before I could get to posting the image, a few days ago the tower collapsed!

colorful web site for the whole thing with many pics

I love this project, and I hope to be able to try my own version one winter.
