Ice Castle Closes Due to Utah's Warm Winter | National Geographic

The magnificent Ice Castle-walls, towers, and canyons made entirely of ice-draws thousands of visitors every year to Midway, Utah. This year, unusually warm weather forced the closing of the winter attraction. The builders consider creating the Ice Castle to be the best job in the world, but they know the risks in running a business that depends on Mother Nature.

Watch: This magnificent Ice Castle in Utah draws thousands of visitors every year. But what happens when the climate is too warm to keep the sculptures intact?

[@dex8982]

I went there last year. It was so beautiful!! It's such a shame it was only open for a very short time period this year. I hope next year will be better!!

[@daniellongsworth4484]

Sure wish I could've gone there sometime.

[@CloudchaserShaconag]

Utah, please come to east Tennessee and take your cold back! It's been the coldest winter since I moved here in '96

[@RoCK3rAD]

Build it here in nyc it's freezing

[@justcallmeassinine]

Looks like it could be nice,but I would hope there is a nearby town with hotels and a shuttle to take you there.I hate driving on ice.I hope next season will be better for them or that they find some technology to keep it all frozen.

[@eddiedun]

Looks cool, hopefully this doesn't mean they're closing for good. Worse comes to worse they can do this in Canada for sure.

[@DesoloZantas]
