‘The Ice Library of Wonders’, a 200 tonne ice sculpture on the shores of Lake Baikal in the Russia town of Baikalsk, was unveiled on Sunday. A massive labyrinth of ice walls, the ice library features work by some of the world's best ice artists. The walls of the structure are formed of ice blocks, each block symbolising an open book in the library. The blocks, or books, have been inscribed with dreams and wishes submitted by real people from all over the world. So far, over a thousand dreams have been submitted online and carved into the ice. Phrases inscribed on the blocks of the wondrous ice library come in various languages including Russian, Ukrainian, German, English, Chinese and French. The Ice Library will stand until spring when it will melt, along with the inscribed dreams, back into Lake Baikal, where the dreams will intermingle with the waters of the deepest and most voluminous lake in the world. Unveiled for the first time this year, ‘The Ice Library of Wonders’ will be added to the Russian calendar as an annual festival.
