Ice structures at McGill University, from “Ice research led by P. Sijpkes at McGill Since 1972,” courtesy McGill University.. Awesomely, like something out of the X-Men, Sijpkes and Angeles ...

I’m also curious to know what a professional ice carver thinks about the 3D ice printer. Make sure you check out the videos they posted, and let me know what you think in the comments. [ McGill ...

They describe 2D and 3D numerical models to clarify the physics behind 3D ice, including heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and the quick phase change from liquid to solid during the printing process.

In 1968, an aircraft flew over the Larsen B ice shelf in Antarctica. More than six decades later, photos taken on that flight have been used to create a 3D model of the region's melting glaciers.
