An ice carver makes a statue of Maasai warrior outside the UN Conference Centre in Denmark's capital Copenhagen as the first week of negotiations comes to a close, December 10, 2009. The original shape of the ice carvings are the Maasai people in Kenya, whose livings are suffering from the climate change. Two three-metre-high warriors of ice carvings, a man and a woman holding a baby, are sculpted with chainsaws and chisels from 4 tonnes of ice. Oxfam installs the ice warriors as a powerful reminder of the human cost of climate change. [Xinhua]
