Several miles above the arctic circle threshold becomes home to around 40 artists from all over the world, organized by the ICEHOTEL art & design group, every winter while they create the year’s ephemeral “ICEHOTEL” in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. The only building material used is about 1,000 tons of pure ice and 30,000 cubic meters of snow harvested from the frozen water of the sacred torne river.
