The Tallest Snow Sculpture
The world's tallest snow sculpture was built for the debut of the 20th International Snow Sculpture Expo. It was built in a small valley in China's Heilongjiang province. The massive sculpture, shown in the picture above, stands 35 meters tall and is 162 meters long. Endless hours were put into the making of the great piece of art, and it took an entire winter season to build.
The Tallest Totem Pole
The “Spirit of Lekwammen,” also known as the “Land of Winds,” is the tallest totem pole in the world. The tallest totem pole, shown in the photos above, took about 5 months to carve and decorate, and it was made from a cedar tree that was over 600 years old. After the 180 foot totem was finally completed, it was raised in Victoria, British Columbia, where it still stands today.
The Dublin Spire
The Dublin Spire, shown in the picture above, is a large pin-shaped sculpture that stands 400 feet tall, and is located on O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland. It is the world's tallest man-made sculpture known to date. The Dublin Spire is also known as the “Monument of Light” because its stainless steel structure reflects intense rays of light.
The Tallest Sandcastle
The world's tallest sandcastle, shown in the picture above, is located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and stands over 49 feet tall. The base of the giant sculpture is over 90 square feet, and it contains nearly two million pounds of sand. Amazingly, the world's tallest sandcastle took less than two weeks to build, just in time for Myrtle Beach's 2007 Sun Fun Festival.
The B of The Bang
The B of the Bang, shown in the picture above, is the tallest man-made sculpture in the United Kingdom. It is made up of many hollow, steel spikes with five supporting legs. This massive sculpture stands 184 feet tall at an incline of thirty degrees, and is a modern piece of art that is the center of attention in Manchester, England.
