The Ice Hotel located at the seashore of Torne River, in the village of Jukkasjarvi, about 17 kms from Kiruna, Swedish Lapland, was the world’s first ice hotel. It is made of 10,000 tons of crystal clear ice and 30,000 tons of pure snow. The Ice Hotel that exists between December and April melts away and goes back to the Torne River during the spring season.
