Read the following passage carefully.
ROMANCING THE ICE
(1) Icehotel near Jukkasjärvi, a town in Swedish Lapland in Kiruna Municipality, Norrbotten Con
is the first and most famous of the ice hotels. In Spring 1990, French artist Jannot Derid held ana
exhibition in a specially built igloo on the frozen Torne. The 60-square metre building named Arct
Hall attracted many visitors. One night there were no rooms available in the town, so some of the
visitors with reindeer skins and sleeping bags spent the night in the exhibition hall. The visitors
raved about their experience and the concept of Icehotel was born.
(2) Now in its 25th season, the Icehotel is rebuilt every year using the massive ice resources of the
Torne. From a single room structure it has grown into a 5,500 square metre complex.
(3) Summer in Jukkasjärvi is intense. The sun shines for 100 days and nights without setting. This
melts the snow and transforms the countryside into a vibrant green. As soon as winter begins, a
team of snow builders, architects, designers and artists from all over the world gather here. Under
the direction of ICE HOTEL ART & DESIGN GROUP, they create each year's version of Icehotel.
(4) Construction work normally begins in October. Vaulted steel pillars are positioned and thousands
of tons of snow is moulded around them using snow canons and front loaders to create the super-
structure. These pillars are removed after the snow has 'set'. This freestanding structure of snow-
arches is then reinforced with ice pillars. After this, craftsmen and artists refine the interior by
carving walls and creating windows, doors, beds, chairs, tables and lamps from ice. The hotel is
ready to receive the first guests in mid-December. The hotel usually begins melting from May on, V
with the water eventually flowing back into the river.
(5) The sight, as you open the main, reindeer-skin clad doors, is simply breathtaking - a grand, ice
pillared hallway illuminated by a spectacular ice chandelier awaits you. All the rooms feature
special beds made of ice, covered with mattresses and reindeer pelts. The suites are unique rooms
decorated with ice art and sculptures. Guests sleep in specially designed thermal sleeping bags.
(6) Amore recent addition to the hotel is the Ice Church, where weddings and christenings take place.
