Icehotel






Even though I am constantly cold (I even have a space heater under my desk at the office), Icehotel looks like an adventure. The hotel is located in Jukkasvjarvi, Sweden - a small village 200km inside the Arctic Circle. Several accommodation options are available: Cold, Warm or Wilderness Camp (I'm imagining dog-sleds, ice fishing and Reindeer rodeos). In the winter months, Icehotel offers snowmobile, dog-sled and moose safari day-trips, courses in ice sculpting, snowshoe and cross-country ski excursions, hunting, etc. In the summer, one can go hiking, fishing, hunting, canoeing and camping (plus more). The Northern Lights are visible all year round. I have officially put it on my list of places to visit.
