• Setting up the dome and tunnel framework... Stanzin Shara and Dadul.
• Ice Stupa volunteer Thupstan Dawa fixing up plastic on the dome roof.
• The base of the Ice Stupas is layered with a special clayey soil that acts as a waterproofing sheet when the ice melts...
• The framework becomes a form-work after its is clad with plastic sheet. Ice will form around this form-work leaving the tunnel and dome as empty spaces.
