A child checks out an ice carving at the sixth annual icefest in Yorkville Park, Toronto, on Feb. 27. Sculptors used everything from chainsaws and blowtorches to electric grinders and chisels to produce carvings at the three-day, circus-themed event. Elephants, a strongman, a fortune teller, and other circus favourites were carved from a huge 25,000 lb (1,100 kilo)-block of ice. (Gordon Yu/The Epoch Times)
