Danish kids pose next to an ice sculpture of the Little Mermaid at the Denmark Pavilion in Shanghai, China, Monday, 30 November 2009. Denmark will bring a million liters of seawater from the Copenhagen Harbor to a pool in its pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the pavilions chief architect said Monday (30 November 2009). The water, an apt setting for the iconic statue Little Mermaid, which will similarly make the trip from Denmark, will demonstrate Copenhagens success in cleaning up its harbor that was polluted by industrial wastes 20 years ago but is safe for swimming today. The steel structure of Denmarks 3, 000-square-meter pavilion was finished Monday. The pavilion is a double spiral with pedestrian and cycling lanes that will take the visitors from the ground through two ramps, up to a level of 12 meters, and down again. About 300 bicycles will be brought to the pavilion to be ridden for free during the Expo, officials said.
