What’s in that crate?

This time it's ten tonnes of ice entombing a 500K bronze skeleton of a Polar bear. Very LOST. The boxed ice is being landed in Copenhagen to be carved into a meta-metaphor for the disastrous Climate Change Conference by Mark Coreth who calls himself ‘a master sculptor of animals in motion’. Coreth is considered, by those in the know, to be the successor of supremo animal artist Rembrandt Bugatti the younger brother of the famous car manufacturer. The ice bear project, which culminates in the bear melting away to reveal its bronze bones in a puddle of water, was also staged in London’s Trafalgar Square.
