Glacial Art creates iron 王座, 宝座 replica in ice for Season 4 boxset launch

The location opened today in the morning and you can still get your chance to sit this icy, fur-lined, iron throne for a few more hours if you find yourself in the vicinity. Tag your photos with #TakeTheThrone so we can see you!
