St Paul Winter Carnival Ice Palace. The 1986 Ice Place was the home of King Boreas Rex L during the Winter Carnival. The structure was 128 ft. 9 in. high making it officially the tallest built to date. It took 36 days to build out of 9,000 single and 14,000 double ice blocks that weighted as much as 700 lbs. each. According to legend the Vulcans destroy the palace when the carnival is over and Spring approaches.
