The Ice Castle

It was a castle made of ice. Ice on the windows, ice on the  walls, ice on the floors and ceilings, ice inside and out. Not even the wizard that created it dared to live in it, as it was colder than a penguin's cheek.  

One day a fairy passing by fell in love with the place. She made a deal with the wizard, who built a room just for her. 

All it took was a sun lamp to warm the ice castle and melt its coldness -without destroying the entire place, of course. 

The fairy and the wizard became BFF. They still live there, with their five pet skuas, seven snow petrels and a gnome garden. 

NOTE:
The Ice Castle is open to visitations on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm. 
Address: 75001 Snowberry, South Pole
