This is a Polar Bear which is about life size, the ice is so clear it looks like glass.
It was -5 or -10 degrees .

This is a Viking Ship around 20 feet tall, note Venus shining between the horns
of the dragon. They have colored lights shining on all the sculptures at night.

Here is a Whale jumping out of the Ice.

A set of Blocks perfectly balanced 

A Wolf and a Crow

A small herd of Musk Ox

I hope you enjoyed these, it was quite impressive to see how intricate some of them
