Finnish couple Lauri Vuohensilta and Anni Vuohensilta of Beyond the Press worked with Janne Käpylehto to create the world’s largest ice carousel cut into a frozen Lake Lappajärvi. This amazing circular piece of ice is an incredible 1000 feet in diameter and over 30,000 tons. It took quite a bit of strength to set the carousel in motion.

World’s Largest Ice Carousel 310 meters / 1000 feet in diameter and mass of 30 000 tons. Cut into lake Lappajärvi by Janne Käpylehto’s team.

Here’s Käpylehto’s video of the build.
