CFB Portage ice sculptures

8,000 gallons of water! — Imagine it. But turned into ice they made this Mississippi river boat, a real stern-wheeler. It's the winning ice sculpture at CFB Portage for their annual winter carnival and it graces a site at the Sergeants' Mess. The entire station is a mass of sculptures, all of them masterpieces like this one.
