Ever wondered what happens when a company abandons a warehouse that used to house ten floors of cold storage? Maybe not… but since I’ve now got you thinking, check out these awesome pictures by Gary Roberts of the Fulton Market Cold Storage Company building in Chicago, they almost look like scenes from Superman’s Fortress of Solitude or even the Wampa’s Ice Cave in The Empire Strikes Back
Prepare to be amazed… I was!!
Alien Landscape
Ice Jaws
Ice Cave on Hoth
Ice Cream anyone??
Is that a Wompa??
The Fortress Of Solitude
The thawing out process itself wasn’t anything too amazing, although when you watch it as a time-lapse (see the video below), it’s pretty damn amazing.

I can’t even imagine getting to explore a building like that. I think I’d be afraid chunks of ice would shear off on me. So amazing to see though
I can imagine something like that happening to me if I took them…but! stunning places like that must be worth the risk 🙂
Fantastic photos … just the same green as the icebergs in Antarctic, because I been there (now I got that in too) – and the video brilliant – a little more ice than my freezer had. Love the post. Love ice.
Viveka, where ‘haven’t’ you been… Your one well travelled lovely lady 🙂
I was working for year aboard a very special vessel that took me the most amazing place … the little red ship.
Here is a little post about the vessel. http://wp.me/p293Pw-6m
I’m going to save that to read until tomorrow, I’m just heading out to paint the town red…dancing shoes are on as well 🙂
Dance now until your shoes cry .. that is what I’m doing – have a fantastic evening …. go easy on the ladies. We are very fragile creatures *smile
