This December animal sculptor, Mark Coreth, carved a life-sized ice sculpture of a hunting polar bear in Trafalgar Square, London and in Nytorv Square, Copenhagen. Over ten days they melted, leaving a bronze skeleton, a pool of water and a powerful environmental message. Anyone who saw them was be able to reach out and touch the Ice Bear. Everyone who did became sculptors as they shaped it - symbolic of how we all have the power to affect our delicate environment. FIND OUT MORE
"Polar bears and their habitat should be meltingly beautiful, not melting away. A forlorn bear on a shrinking iceberg may seem like an exaggeration of a complex problem but actually it stands as a symbol of how habitats are shrinking the world over and none more urgently than the beautiful and fragile arctic. Join me in supporting the Ice Bear Project and helping raise the temperature of the debate" Stephen FryNews
