Ice Castles Built with a Geothermal Heating System

Winter is always a fun time for Minnesota resident Roger Hanson. Using cold water from his geothermal heating and cooling system, Hanson creates enormous ice castles that tower over his own home.



Hanson's geothermal system draws water up from the ground at 47 degrees. This water is used to heat the home, and is then expelled when it reaches 37 degrees. A special system of computer programmed sprayers are used to spray the water and create the amazing looking ice castle you see above. It's definitely a unique art form and a unique way to use a geothermal heating and cooling system.
