Occupy protesters set up camp in igloos

Occupy protesters have found a new way to camp ahead of the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland – by building igloos.

Instead of the tents seen in protests all over the rest of the world, protesters will keep warm in an igloo base after a spell of extremely snowy weather.

The Occupy movement has erected their igloos in Davos, where 2,600 decision makers from nearly 100 countries will attend on Wednesday.

“In the last 42 years, I've never seen so much snow in Davos," tweeted WEF forum founder Klaus Schwab on Sunday.

Replying to the tweet, the Occupy Davos movement said: “Perfect snow to build igloos!”
