A method for building an ice structure includes making a plurality of ice logs or ice beams and attaching the ice logs together to form a support structure. The support structure may be two or more stories high and may be constructed by freezing the ice logs or ice beams together.

Novel strictures and methods are disclosed for creating and maintaining an underwater air chamber beneath a volume of water within a conventional aquarium for access by amphibious life within the aquarium to permit the amphibious life to selectively leave a water environment for a dry environment. In one embodiment, the underwater air chamber includes a hood secured to a base which defines a hollow chamber. After the apparatus is submerged in an aquarium, pressurized gas is introduced into the hollow chamber to create a dry environment within the hollow chamber. A gas effluent control is associated with the hood to selectively release the gas under pressure from within the chamber. An entryway into the chamber is also formed in the hood to permit amphibious life to selectively enter and exit the chamber, as well as to permit larger air bubbles to escape from within the air chamber. Another embodiment discloses an underwater air chamber formed integrally with an aquarium. Structures and methods are also disclosed for delivering a food object to a submerged air chamber from above the water surface of an aquarium. Compact versions and multiple island versions are also disclosed.
