As winter sets in, Ice Sculptors demonstrate their fine craftsmanship across the United States. Using just ice as the raw material and by tools such as chainsaws and specialty bits fitted to a die grinder, artists create stunning sculptures. It takes only about 15~20mins to create sculptures like these and the lifetime of a sculpture is fact determined primarily by the temperature of its environment, thus a sculpture can last from mere minutes to possibly months! Ice sculptures have a rich history and some evidence suggests people may have been carving ice as early as 600 B.C.

A reputed lensman and journalist, my father (Regret Iyer @regretiyerphoto) trained me at a very young age to see and capture some unique and human-interest stories. And, in the last 15 years — ever since my very first photograph was published in a newspaper — I have been lucky enough to have traveled to some remote corners of the world and capture intriguing and fascinating stories from the natural world (wildlife, wild places, and human journey. To mark this 15-year-long journey, I will be sharing photographs that were highly commended, won awards, and made it to print (newspapers) in this visual series called ‘One Earth’.
