Towering ice sculptures made by ice carvers from China went on display in the south Texas city of Galveston on Saturday as part of the "Ice Land" attraction being staged at the city's Moody Gardens.
The ice-themed event, claimed to be the only one of its kind along the Gulf Coast, is expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors during the Christmas holiday season.
The 2,600-square-meter park took 816 metric tons of ice and almost a year's labor, said John Zendt, president and CEO of Moody Garden.
