Sky Atlantic sets White Walker loose in Game of Thrones art attack

Spring may be on the horizon, but for Game of Thrones fans, "Winter is Coming" and to celebrate the show's return on Monday 25th April, Sky Atlantic has released its very own White Walker, international snow artist Simon Beck, to create the largest snow tribute to Game of Thrones on Earth. 

Walking all day and all night, through 32.5 kilometres of heavy Alpine snow, with just a compass as his guide, snow artist Beck's footsteps emblazoned the sigil of the show's House of Stark across the Alps, creating snow art the size of 2.5 football pitches.

Beck chose the Stark sigil for his piece in tribute to the late Jon Snow, whose death in the final episode of season five left fans around the world reeling.
