Despite a surprisingly mild December, real ice and snow carved into hundreds of sculptures have sprung up in London.

An ice kingdom, which is being kept frozen at sub-zero temperatures, has been created by an international team of people at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.

Here's more about the numbers involved in the -12C attraction:

Pieces of ice art including frozen animals, fairies, a snow queen and a snow throne, produced using tools such as power drills and steel samurai swords.
