This season in Lapland is simply breathtaking: fairy-tale snow landscape and a particular daylight resembling a long sunset.
Today we used a pressure watergun to glaze the rough pattern we digged yesterday all along the roof in our Icehotel Suite.
The water, freezing immediately, left the surface very shiny and wet-like. The underwater ice effect we are trying to create will look marvelous with the illumination we planned with the Lighting Team.
We also completed the smoothing on the walls and set the ice pillars in position. Tomorrow will be a very hard day: heavy blocks to lift, holes to dig and more sculpturing...
The Icehotel continues to grow, day by day, all winter.
