科教科普类 1、??? While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your?list, the ever-changing ICEHOTEL, which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year, may change your mind. Lying 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in Jukkasj?rvi, the hotel, which is carved entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually, with each?getting increasingly beautiful and impressive. ??? The 29-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989, after Jukkasj?rvi residents organized an art show in a 5.5-square-meter ice house to try to?call?tourists’ attention to the?remote?village during the freezing winter months. The exhibition was a huge success, attracting many day visitors. However, it was not until a group of?adventurous?souls arrived with sleeping bags, announcing their?intention?to spend the night inside the house, that the idea of the frozen hotel was born. ??? The ICEHOTEL has come a long way since its?beginnings. It covers an area of over 5,500 square meters. The planning begins months earlier in March when about 5,000 tons of ice are harvested from the river and transferred to cold storage, where they sit till the beginning of winter. Construction begins in earnest in November, when about 100 workers come to the region. By December, the unique frozen?accommodation?is ready to open for business. ??? Regardless of whether visitors select the luxury carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling?-5°C! That is why guests are advised to lie close inside?warm sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night. Not surprisingly, most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the?conventional, and warmer, cabins nearby. ??? In addition to the unique rooms, the hotel also offers guests fun activities like snowshoeing, or dog sledding, and for those brave enough to suffer through the below freezing temperatures — overnight?wilderness?camping! The hotel’s single restaurant serves food, while the drinks are always chilled to perfection in the world-famous ICEBAR! 1.Why did Jukkasj?rvi residents organize an art show in 1989?
