You're standing at the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, a small village about seventeen kilometres from Kiruna, far up in northern Sweden. What you're looking at only exists for a few months a year. The whole hotel is made of snow and ice, and every winter it's rebuilt from scratch. It was the world's very first ice hotel, and it's also the biggest, covering more than six thousand square metres.
