N2 - ‘Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere’’ is a famous statement by British mathematician and winner of the 1950 Nobel Prize in Literature, Bertrand Russell (1872–1970). Beautiful and cold certainly describes the world’s biggest ice sculpture festival, in Harbin, China. It mainly features illuminated artistic sculptures up to the size of real palaces, but for the past two winters, the mathematical tourist has also been able to admire a smaller annual exhibition of mathematical ice structures at the Harbin Institute of Technology.
