A sand carver working on a sculpture during the Sand Sculpture Festival “Frozen Summer Fun” in Ostend, Belgium yesterday. A team of 30 carvers from around the world spent four weeks building 150 giant sculptures based on Marvel, Star Wars, Disney and Pixar movies. Six thousand tonnes of sand brought by 200 trucks were needed to make the sculptures which will be on show between today and September 6.
