Ice sculpting is the art of carving blocks of ice into decorative shapes and figures. Artists use various tools, such as chisels and chainsaws, to create intricate designs for events like weddings, festivals, and competitions. The process requires skill and precision, as the ice can be fragile and difficult to work with. Typically, sculptors start with large blocks of ice, which can weigh hundreds of pounds. They may use colored lights to enhance their creations, making them visually striking. Ice sculptures can last for hours or days, depending on the temperature and environment, and are often admired for their beauty and craftsmanship.
