The Last Iceberg is Team Alaska's entry in the Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Championships. This team reproduced a sculpture (right) by an Aleut artist depicting an Aleut in a kayak who is hunting a polar bear perched on top of a shrinking iceberg. The bear, in turn, is taking the fish out of the hunter's kayak.

This snow sculpture captured one of the two artist's awards and won the People's Choice award.

The photo on the left shows the sculpture under construction.
