Ice replicas of Prague’s Charles Bridge and the Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslas and Adalbert are under construction on Sukhbaatar Square in the heart of Ulaanbaatar. Mongolian sculptor Ts.Batmunkh and his assistants are transforming ice cubes into Prague’s iconic emblem.

The ice replicas have been commissioned by the Czech Embassy and are being financed by two Czech companies. The ice sculptures are being made to mark the 70^th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Czech Republic and Mongolia. The ice sculptures will be opened to the public on Monday (16 December).
