PEOPLE in Glasgow could soon be convinced that the ice age is returning to the city when the iconic Armadillo structure takes on a frozen form.
A 26ft long giant ice sculpture of the Clyde Auditorium is to be created in Buchanan Galleries next month.
It is one of five such artworks being unveiled simultaneously on September 11, each portraying landmarks from major UK cities.
Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester and London will have their own landmarks recreated in ice as vodka giant Smirnoff promotes its two new flavours.
Top ice sculptors Duncan and Jamie Hamilton, Ben Edson, Jack Hackney and Darren Jackson will work through the night to complete the frozen art.
Weighing up to 3.5 tonnes each, the sculptures will take the four around five hours to carve.
The art will be on show in the cities until the ice melts and the monuments disappear.
Until then, Glaswegians can admire the ice version Armadillo ... a chip off the old block.
