World Ice Championship

What is winter in Alaska without showing off its display of ice sculptures that never ever melt in the public under the powerless sun?

Welcome to the world of Iceman!

The sculptures at night looked more alluring with the lights reflected and refracted in the ice. Everything came alive!

University of Alaska Museum

This is indeed one of the best museums I’ve been to. Probably due to the mysterious Alaskan heritage that’s so captivating. The nature, the dancing night sky, the wildlife, the natives, the culture, the language.. They are something which you can never get in the rest of the continents, not even in the same country in USA. Uniquely Alaska is truly a perfect fit, better than Singapore.
