A City of Ice

By Laura C. Girardi

Visitors to the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee, can walk in a wonderland of ice—but only if they bundle up! The hotel is hosting an ice display called Fantasy in Ice. This October, 55 artists arrived from China to begin sculpting more than a million pounds of ice into an ice city. They built eight holiday scenes inside a refrigerated theater, which is kept at 20°F. Now that’s really cool!
