Ice Hotel or Ice Gallery

There are a lot of Ice Hotel around the world,but Jukkasjarvi in Swedish Lapland is one of the best,because it's not just a hotel,it's a museum of Ice Art,I put some pictures of this nice hotel and also some information about it.The meaning of Space in this area should be wonderful,it might be in there to feel its architecture.
ICE HOTEL is situated in the village Jukkasjärvi, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden and 17 kilometers from Kiruna, the nearest town. The heart and backbone is the River Torne flowing freely through the unspoilt wilderness. Covered with a meter thick ice layer winter time the river is the source of all our art, architecture and design. The pure water and the steady movement of the river creates the clearest ice possible.









Guests sleep in special sleeping bags on beds made of snow and ice and covered with reindeer skins; a hot drink is brought to the bedside at morning-time. Warm winter clothing is provided. Several cabins with bunk beds are available. "Warm accommodation" is available, too.








Guests can also take cool (no pun intended) outings, such as "Northern Lights Tour Deluxe", a day outing to the Esrange Space Center to learn about the Norther Lights (and have a 3-course dinner too.) Keep in mind, however, that the Northern Lights don't appear every night; you may be lucky, but don't count on seeing this natural light show.
