The single block competition has started about 20 minutes ago and will continue through Thursday. Lars Hansen and Mike Ossmann (Site #40) are working on "Quixote's Nightmare", an evil windmill straight from the bowels of hell. I've checked out their clay models, and am excited for them.
Webcams should be accessible soon from: http://icealaska.com/10/10sbindex.html, but as of this post they're not quite there yet.
Of interest: Look for Lars's cool homemade tools, including the ice-lathe, "Bob" the boiler, and a slab cutter that is made from bicycle wheels, a car jack, and a washing-machine engine.... Then, there are always the hockey-stick chisels.
The story of their creation is told on Mike's Blog. PS, don't tell them I added Quixote. -- though I'm not responsible for the other alteration...

The ice-alaska webcams seem to be cross-wired and showing incorrect sites. I created a little webpage that shows a few of the sculptures here: my refreshing webcam page for singleblock
