BOSTON - Preparations for First Night are underway in Boston, where artists carved ice sculptures of turtles outside the New England Aquarium on Sunday.

Outside the aquarium, the ice sculpture team was putting the finishing touches on one of their many displays for First Night. One of the sculptures depicts Kemps Ridley sea turtles, one of the endangered species cared for by the aquarium.

"The Kemps Ridley is the smallest and most endangered sea turtle in the world and 90% of the turtles that we rehabilitate in Quincy are the Kemps Ridleys so we're getting the message out there that every one does count," said Lindsay Lory, the rescue and rehabilitation manager at the aquarium.
