When I was an Fairbanks, Alaska, I came across this massive, shapeless ice statue near the pipeline, that was brightly lit at night. I later read that the statue is created by pumping water into the air, and then letting it freeze through the winter. Does anyone know what is the name of this monument?

He called the winter 03/04 one Foxman's Raven. 04/05 was Ghost Raven. 05/06 was Twin Towers. They last into July (when the last bits melts), the bigger ones lasting later into July.

Here's one bit on it. Google "fox reeves tower" or "Reeves ice tower" to find a lot more references. He did it for three years.

There's also a Swedish guy who does 150 foot towers most years. And a contest (for $100) by the Alaskan Alpine Club. Their website has construction tips:
