Sky Atlantic are celebrating the news that they'll be simulcasting the Game of Thrones season 6 premiere with the US, after creating the sigil of the show's House of Stark across the Alps, in a piece of snow art the size of two and a half football pitches.
International snow artist Simon Beck is the man behind the piece, who walked all day and night over 13 hours through 32.5 kilometres of heavy Alpine snow with just a compass as his guide, taking 64,800 steps.
Beck decided to create the Stark sigil in tribute to the late Jon Snow, who fans saw die in the season five finale last year.
Director of Sky Atlantic, Zai Bennett comments: "Set in the alpine snow, having taken over 13 hours and covering 32.5 kilometres Simon Beck's amazing Stark sigil from Game of Thrones is the perfect tribute to a truly epic TV show."
Season six of Game of Thrones will be simulcast on Sky Atlantic at 2am on April 25, at the same time it airs in the US and will be repeated 9 pm the same day.
