The mound of ice outside Nollendorfplatz U-bahn has grown to epic proportions over the winter, as BVG staff diligently clear snow away from the entrance to the station. Now a homeless Berliner has found what must be about the only decent use for it: building himself an igloo.

Enterprising and entertaining — although slightly less fun when you remember that at least 3 of Berlin’s homeless have already frozen to death this winter.
