Dutch student team build 40 meter ice basilica in Finland in three weeks

Last year students built the world’s biggest ice dome, with a diameter of 30 meters, in Finland. At the end of this year another team intend to travel to the frozen north to take on an even bigger challenge. They are going to build a church of ice, based on the Sagrada Familia, from pykrete – ice reinforced with wood fibers. And they aim to complete the almost 40 meter high model of the famous church in Barcelona (built on a scale of 1:4) in just three weeks.http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/L...
