The annual Ice Sculpting Festival in Pustevny is an event that attracts many visitors to the Beskydy Mountains each winter. This year, seven Czech and Slovak artists created a total of 25 statues from 40 tons of ice.

The artists were inspired by the signs of the Zodiac and by Space, creating sculptures of rockets, the Sputnik satellite or the aliens.
