Terje Isungset Carves and Plays Instruments Made from Glacial Ice

Terje Isungset is a talented musician who makes his own instruments out of glacial ice. The Norwegian artist has created and played everything from a trumpet to a guitar.

I applaud Terje Isungset for making functional ice carvings. Too often we see cool ice sculptures that can only be looked at from a distance, but not practically used. Check out the video to see Terje Isungset tearing things up at an all-ice instrument set. Trust me, you don't want to miss this.
