Funny, I linked to that under my photos.

Here's the link to Sweden's 162' tower. Yes, 162 feet freestanding, no underlying structure!

Now that's a nice chunk of ice. Would love to have that in my back yard. Can't imagine the water bills and frozen pipes needed to make it.

Most of the large towers use lake or river water. Only cost is electricity for the pump.

If I were home we could do this in my back yard using the river.

Crampons? We don't need no stinking crampons! Yes, christmas lights can hold up a person quite easily with enough water.
