Australian police seize $898m haul of ice

They said it was the largest methylamphetamine seizure in Australia's history and was a joint operation between Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Victoria Police.

Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan's office said the drugs were sandwiched between a shipment of wooden floorboards.

Two men have been charged with drug trafficking offences.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull praised police and security services for the intercept.

Yes, this is a real house completely encased in ice

This igloo -- er, house -- is in Webster, New York, just outside of Rochester. The area is one of the snowiest in the country, thanks to freezing winter temperatures and the moisture of the nearby Great Lakes. In the case of this prank of nature, high winds joined in the party and coated the house in layer after layer of ice.

Photographer John Kucko captured the scene, and says the area has had some particularly nasty weather lately.
