Cada diciembre escultores de hielo sacan bloques de hielo del río Songhua para el Festival Internacional de Nieve y Hielo de Harbin, China, que son moldeados a mano a 35 grados bajo cero.

Iniciará el 5 de enero de 2021 y contará con castillos de tamaño real, esquí, trineos, bodas masivas, natación de invierno y un parque temático de esculturas de hielo bañadas por luces de colores.

Para Zhang Wei y cientos de otros “mineros de hielo”, el trabajo comienza en el frío adormecedor antes del amanecer en el helado Songhua, un ancho río que serpentea a través de la ciudad de Harbin, en el noreste de China.

Con largos picos de hielo, los mineros rompen la superficie congelada del río de un kilómetro de ancho en bloques de hielo del tamaño de una caja. Los grandes bloques formarán las estructuras que forman el festival anual de hielo y nieve de la ciudad.

Todos los días desde principios de diciembre, decenas de miles de bloques de hielo han sido extraídos del río y trasladados en camión al lugar del festival anual de invierno de Harbin, donde se utilizan para construir castillos de tamaño natural, pagodas, puentes e incluso un restaurante de estofado.

Los bloques de hielo se colocan minuciosamente uno encima del otro mientras los trabajadores les dan forma, recortan y cortan a medida con motosierras, horquillas para encurtidos y cinceles de dientes.

El hielo natural del río funciona mejor, dicen los trabajadores, ya que el hielo artificial no es lo suficientemente fuerte para soportar el viento y es posible que los bloques no resistan ser apilados uno encima del otro.

Con las fronteras internacionales de China fuertemente restringidas debido a la pandemia de coronavirus, se espera que los turistas nacionales representen la mayor parte de los visitantes que se maravillarán con las esculturas de hielo el próximo mes a temperaturas por debajo de menos 35 grados Celsius.
