  1. Must be beautiful with all the lights, probably be a cool place to hang out and watch the light dance across the ice…

  2. Some of those icicles look pretty sharp (and dangerous). You wouldn't want those breaking if you were underneath.

  3. For those that use metrics: temperatures can reach up to 21deg outside, the temperature inside never climbs above 0. The top 91 metres are open to the public.

  4. @GreatBigStory, you're quite a global media company… use the metric system!!!

  5. Do you want to build a snowman?
    I CANT theres only ICE! there is NO SNOW
