Located at Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Frost Ice Bar is the world's largest permanent indoor ice bar. The interior is crafted entirely from ice, including the bar, seats, chandeliers and paintings. The Bally Refrigerated Box that houses the bar was constructed using recycled aluminum sheets and non-ozone urethane insulation that provides four times the insulation value of a house. Scheduled to open at the end of August, Frost will maintain its chilled space at a cool minus six degrees Celsius. EPA/CJ GUNTHER
