The town of Jukkasjarvi in northern Sweden is home to an annual hotel made from snow and ice. Now in its 28th edition the hotel invited 36 artists from 17 countries to create a main hall, ice ceremony hall for weddings and other events, and 15 new “art suites.” Highlights include a space-themed room and another dominated by a strange ice queen. Constructing the Icehotel involved harvesting thousands of ice blocks from a nearby frozen river. A 30,000 cubic meter mixture of snow and ice was used to create the hotel. (Photo/VCG)
