Sweden Welcomes Visitors to Witness Stunning Ice Sculptures at IceHotel

Sculpture: Every year, Sweden invites artists to create ice sculptures in its IceHotel, which visitors can use. The IceHotel has 35 suites, and this year, 36 artists from 16 different countries designed the rooms. The artists who work on the bed sculptures have no prior experience working with ice. This year, we have stunning bed sculptures of the Queen of the North, which holds a bed in its long hands. To build this IceHotel, 30k cubic meters of snow and ice were used, and the ice sculptures required 500 tons of clear ice. IceHotel reopens every year with new sculptures because the ice melts during summer. The hotel is available for booking from December 2017 until March 2018. You can enjoy the colorful northern lights outside the hotel. According to IceHotel, "This is the world’s first IceHotel, situated in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden approximately 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. IceHotel was founded in 1989 and is an art exhibition and hotel made of natural ice and snow from one of Europe’s last wild rivers." During summer, parts of the IceHotel melt away to form the Torne River.
