This Friday, The Queen Mary opens its Fourth Annual CHILL, a massive frozen wonderland inside the dome that once housed the Spruce Goose. This year, the Ice Kingdom is based on Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.

In this interview, Ice Kingdom Designer Max Painter speaks about the scope, scale and development of the project. The interview also includes a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of the Kingdom, carved by hand from more than two million pounds of ice, as it neared completion.

Tickets and information for CHILL can be found at QueenMary.com/Chill.
