Harbin Snow and Ice Festival


Kim and David join Shaun, John, Craig, and Sheryl on an adventure to the distant and Icy city of Harbin, China in an effort to view the rare and elusive sculptures and buildings of the Snow and Ice Festival. Here our valiant heroes braved temperatures as fierce as the most sinister Albany chill or a very mild spring day in Siberia.

Words cannot describe the beautiful and transient art and architecture of Harbin - but pictures can:

These pics are great! How'd they get the colors like that? Very intricate lighting?

The lighting is elaborate, but not really very intricate. For the ice sculptures, they're largely lit by gelled lights from behind. The effect is really beautiful. For the buildings, they're actually lit from inside. Pretty crazy, huh?
