Jukkasjärvi Icehotel December 10, -21 degrees



The sea leaves are finally taking shape!



After we marked the position of the pillars on the floor we have located the exact spot where they are supposed to meet the roof.




We are building the pillars using big ice blocks measuring 50x30 and the surfaces need to be leveled before we "glue" them together. It´s interesting how water can be used to connect ice blocks in such a resistent way.



 

Tomorrow we are going to set the last blocks which are supposed to extend up trough the roof.



Today is the first day for tourists to enjoy Icehotel and some final retouches are required before the opening ceremony of the Icebar.
