An exciting metamorphosis is currently taking place in Jukkasjärvi. This weekend, the temperature in northern Sweden reached some 20 degrees Celsius - in these conditions ice and snow melts, and fast. ICEHOTEL, which closed for the winter season in mid-April, is now returning to its origins - the Torne River. See the latest images of the melting process here.
Northern Lights Suites, New Year's Eve theatre show, photo book launch, new direct flights and the launch of a new summer concept - for a snapshot of the latest news from ICEHOTEL this winter, go to the documents section in our press room.

ICEHOTEL is set to reveal artists' sketches and ideas for this year's rendition of ICEHOTEL in a digital countdown calendar in social media starting Monday 29 October.
Using only ice and snow for material, ICEHOTEL is constructed anew during every November and December and melts away during late spring. Every year artists from around the globe are selected to design and construct the ICEHOTEL suites.
There is an on-going pre-study concerning the possibility to build a mosque of ice and snow at ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. The idea arose during the winter of 2010 and the initiator is Peo Strömberg, CEO of Globile Ventures, Sweden. A decision on building an ice mosque has not yet been made.
