Cold art. Photos, sculpture and carvings done in ice and/or snow. Some real, some not.

Ice cubes for everyone!

Henry Kaiser visited Antarctica in 2001 and kept a photojournal. He brought back some amazing photos of ice towers, strange and gross creatures, ice caves, ice dives, and a South Pole exorcism, as well as videoclips. And if you liked those, there are more photos of the icy continent here.

Not that we haven't seen it coming.
