Thousands of people are flocking to a winter wonderland constructed from ice in New Hampshire.
Ice Castles in North Woodstock features a collection of ice tunnels, caverns and a 97-foot (30-meter) ice slide that cover an acre (half a hectare) of farmland. Some have said the scene is like something out of the movie "Frozen."
The winter wonderland is one of six in North America.

The attraction moved this year from neighboring Lincoln.
