The Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences is preparing for the festival of ice and snow sculptures The World of Crystals. Frozen water cubes made at Komsomolskoye Lake were taken to an open-air workshop to be treated with axes, electric saws and chisels. Then, the sculptures, such as snow gazebos, portraits of mythical creatures and abstract objects, were placed next to a tropical plant greenhouse.
Festivities with winter entertainment activities and live music will launch in the ice alley at 14:00 today.
