In the cold part of the world, an ice and snow park called "Moroz" City has opened in Moscow. It was built by more than one hundred people - mostly art students, architects and designers - as part of Moscow's youth architecture winter festival.
From London's Big Ben and Rome's Coliseum to the Eiffel Tower, some of the world's greatest landmarks have been recreated in ice at a winter festival in Moscow's Sokolniki Park.
The project is called Moroz-City. Moroz translates as frost or ice in Russian, and the total area of the ice park is 2,500 square meters.
The ice sculptures are expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors, before spring weather slowly melts the creations sometime in March or April.
As part of the Youth Architecture Winter Festival, more than a hundred architecture and sculpture students from all over Russia have taken part in the event.
Competition was fierce with each team wanting to make their work the most creative. A team called Vetrograd built a lighthouse that included a slide for children to enjoy. Vetrograd member Georgy Rashnikov says he wants to spread joy with his art.
Georgy Rashnikov said, "There are many of us on the team, 20 people, sometimes 30 people and we like making good and big things that make us happy and that make other people happy too. This is one of these things. We've made a slope that will bring joy and enjoyment to children and their parents and generally to everyone who wants to take part in it."
Most of the ice used for the town is from lakes. The ice from rivers has a different structure: it is less transparent and consists of layers, which makes it less suitable for statues and construction.
The official opening of the park was delayed as last-minute work continued on Tuesday, but those who did manage to visit later were not disappointed.
在冰雪世界的一部分,一个名为“Moroz”城市的冰和雪为主题的公园在莫斯科开放。它的建设者超过100人-大多数都是艺术学院学生,建筑师和设计师们——年轻建筑师们迎接着冬季节日。
从伦敦的大本钟和罗马竞技场再到艾菲尔铁塔,一些世界上最伟大的地标建筑于冰雪节日在莫斯科Sokolniki公园被再创造。
该项目被称为Moroz城市。Moroz在俄语中是霜或冰的意思,公园总面积是2500平方米。
其中的冰雕预计将吸引数万名游客。
