Swiss Set World Record for Igloos

by Kevin Humphrey on March 23rd, 2006

Swiss Set World Record for IgloosLast weekend in Switzerland, 200 folks set a new - and rather odd - world record by building a village of one hundred igloos in just 12 hours with no mechanized assistance.

The team of ‘eskimo enthusiasts‘ built the village on the frozen Melch Lake in the Jochpass region in the central part of the country. The village measures 200 feet across, has a snow church and central piazza and many of the igloos feature kitchens and fireplaces.

Check it out at igluprojekt.ch. The site is in German, but if you follow the ‘Fotogalerie‘ link on the left side of the page, you’ll find lots of pictures from the day.
