With these difficulties in mind, CILMAR's intercultural learning specialist, Dr. Dan Jones, re-wrote Meteorite and named the new exercise Ice Sculpture. 

This informative lecture, with accompanying PowerPoint, explains the intercultural metaphors of culture as an onion, an iceberg, a fish in water, lenses, and several others.

This activity teaches the common intercultural concept of the iceberg and visible/invisible culture.
