Inukshuk Ice Sculptures

Jacky Wu's 'Polar Ice Tray' Lets You Channel Inuit Culture

Designer Jacky Wu came up with a brilliant idea for the ice tray. Her 'Polar Ice Tray' features very modern pebble-shaped black exteriors that are designed for Inukshuk-shaped ice cubes.

The coolest part about it is the ice's design. Just poor the water, freeze it and voila--your Inukshuk ice is ready. Let’s not forget that the famous stone sculpture is the official emblem of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

With a drink in hand, chilled by super-ice in your glass, you’ll have extra fun knowing that the traditional meaning of the Inukshuk is “Someone was here,” or “You are on the right path.”
