The year I visited, 1989, amongst all of the various ice carvngs and sculptures, there was a massive ice dolmen, made I believe by some Breton people. I could not of course, pass it by without taking a photograph.
Should you be thinking of visiting Québec for this wonderful carnival, be prepared for the cold. For the several days I was there, the temperature did not manage to rise above -25°C, and was at times touching -40°. This is seriously cold, and hurts; bare skin should not be exposed more than a few seconds.
Also beware the Caribou, a feisty alcoholic beverage, the recipe for which varies from the purist port, brandy and maple syrup, to others which can contain cheap red wine , whisky, vodka or basic ethanol! The drink is carried either in a pouch or a hollow walking stick.
