A pair of workers finish setting up the crown part of a Statue of Liberty replica Friday, February 11, 2022, near the University of Wisconsin Memorial Union on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wis. Because of temperatures in the mid-40s, it was decided not to erect the torch part of the illusion. The inflatable replica, is part of the Wisconsin Union's Winter Carnival that runs through Saturday. The original Styrofoam version first appeared on Lake Mendota in 1979 as a prank by the Pail and Shovel Party, which was led by UW-Madison alumni Leon Varjian and Jim Mallon. It was destroyed by an arsonist. (Photo by Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel via AP Photo)
