📷: Icehotel. Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. January, 2012.

The big girl said "Mama, my teacher was telling my class about a hotel in Sweden that is built entirely out of ice. So cool! I think you mentioned to me about it before, right?"

Yes, my dear baby girl. In fact, you didn't just hear about the Icehotel, you set foot in it when you were two. That's one good thing about technology because the pictures we took and the blog post I wrote will serve as precious, everlasting memories for us.

Here are some fascinating facts about the Icehotel we visited:

- It is the world's first ice hotel and sits in the village of Jukkasjärvi in northern Sweden, 17km from Kiruna.

- Spanning over 6,000 sqm, it is said to be the biggest hotel of ice and snow in the world.

- The Icehotel only exists between December and April, and has been listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Sweden.

- It is rebuilt each year from scratch by ice builders and artists from around the world. Thus, each room is one of a kind and the architecture of the hotel changes every year.

- The hotel is completely made out of natural ice from Torne River, one of Sweden’s national rivers and last untouched waters. When the art and parts of the hotel melt, the water returns to its source.

- The indoor temperature is set on a constant -5°C. We were told guests could not bring in anything with liquid (but to keep them in the common toilet which is warm) as they would freeze.

- There are 55 cold rooms consisting of Deluxe Suites, Art Suites and Ice Rooms.

- Everything, including the chairs, the beds, the furniture, the decorations, the thick walls, the floors, the ceiling, is made out of ice and snow! Besides the rooms, there is a ice bar with glasses made of ice and an ice chapel with ice benches too.

That is simply amazing, right?

Did we stay overnight? Nope, we didn't because we thought the cold might be too unbearable for you but we did stay for a few hours to explore every room.

One day, perhaps, we can revisit this beautiful place with your little brother and sister. For now, let's cherish all these priceless memories and hold them dear.

＜北極光影＞ 預告片：
對上一次的遊歷影片　不知不覺原來已經是５個月前發佈 (希臘的 The Blue Odyssey )
而早前的＜巴黎光影＞遊歷片都還在製作階段（依然好忙…）
不知有多少知音好友期待著我更近期的北極圈之旅 - 瑞典 Abisko　所帶回來的畫面呢？
這短短的影片裡只是瑞典時其中的一個晚上，我們一班熱血遊人得到當地 Lapland Trip 北極秘境之旅
非常親切的 Frank 和 Klas 帶著我們在旅店附近的湖邊等待北極光出現，
當晚的雲很厚很多，之能隔著又愛又恨雲層去看著極光的微妙舞動。
<北極光影＞（暫名）的完整版本，將會帶各朋友撥開這片雲層，看到我們這個旅程最美的畫面　:)
請耐心再等待一下… ^_^

< The Arctic > : Trailer
As the time passed in a flash, our last Journey Video was published in May (The Blue Odyssey , for my Greece trip) in the mean time, I have been still working on the ongoing one < The Days in Paris> since I got very tied-up to wrap it up yet.
Just wondering how many dear friends here are even longing for the pictures from my most recent journey in the Arctic Circle - Abisko, Sweden. In this short clip , is to show just a couple of brief shots captured in one night, where our super-friendly hosts Frank & Klas from Lapland Trip guided us; a beautiful a quiet lake just near by the guesthouse.
The cloud was thick and dense, it made that difficult for us to barely see the Aurora waving far away behind them. In the final version of < The Arctic >, will be showing everyone what we eventually saw and captured behind all this cloud and blocking obstacles, with many many different magnificent landscape and scenes we saw together :)
Please stay tuned and wait just a little while ... ^_^
