Hundreds of families have visited a two-day ice trail at a Northumberland Museum.
Coal and Ice took place over two days at Woodhorn, with several animals made of ice placed across the mining museum to highlight animals at risk from global warming. Animals had been chosen by schools in Northumberland, visitors to Woodhorn, and community groups with a mixture of wildlife found in the North East; such as red squirrels and puffins; and those under threat around the globe; like snow leopards and orang-utans.
However, mild weather caused some of the larger temporary sculptures to start melting faster than expected. One fighting a losing battle with the elements was a "pledge bridge", where local schoolchildren had written their climate pledges and had them encased within the ice.
