Second place went to Mongolian pair Bathmunkh Tserendashi and Odgerel Altanbayar, who made a sculpture they named ’Rainbow Land’. Kilian van der Velde and Marieke van der Meer, from the Netherlands, took third place for their work ’Molecules’.
The judges awarded the best-placed Finns, Timo Koivisto and Juha Ahonen, fifth spot for their sculpture, ’Perfect Predators’. The Finnish pair did, however, win the public vote.
Competitors produced a total of 24 ice sculptures, which will be on show on the island of Korkeasaari until they melt.
