【推荐1】For a long time, many people went to the Arctic in summer, but in winter few people went there. In the winter of 1990, the French artist Jannot Derid was invited to have the opening of his exhibition in a building in the little village of Jukkasjarvi. The building named the Arctic Hall, was made of snow.
Many visitors went there. One night, a group of visitors decided to sleep in the Arctic Hall. The following morning the brave group was very pleased with their experience and the idea of an ice hotel was born.
Today the ICE HOTEL is world—famous. As soon as winter begins, a team of builders from all over the world come to Jukkasjarvi and they make the hotel for that year. As one part is completed, it opens to visitors, while the other parts are still being built. The first part is completed in December and each week after that, a new part opens. The hotel isn’t usually completed until January 7th. The ICE HOTEL is built under the open sky, using the natural materials of the winter season. So the finishing date will look at the weather and there are sometimes changes to the plan. In spring, as the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts.
No matter how cold it may be outside, the temperature inside the hotel is never colder than -8°C. Water and outer clothes are included in the cost of visitors’ stay at the hotel. If you are planning to come to the hotel, you can buy warm sweaters, socks and much more on the ICE HOTEL website. They will be sent to your room when you check in.
