4About it
An ice sculpture is carved from a big block of clear ice with saws, chisels and even small power tools. Clear ice is made by freezing water slowly, so the air bubbles can escape instead of turning it white. Swans are a favorite shape for parties, and whole towns of ice are built at winter festivals.
Tap it and the swan melts faster and faster: water drips into a spreading puddle, the beak wears away, the wing tips and the head crack off and fall in, and the body wears down to a lump. Then it freezes back, piece by piece, with a sweep of frost. The Temperature slider melts it partway and back.
