From a subtle glow of pale light across the sky to shimmering waves of emerald green, these displays can appear at any time. They reach up into the sky, drawing our eyes towards the Universe beyond. Seeing the Northern Lights from the magnificent Arctic landscape of Karesuando only amplifies their beauty. This village is home to just 300 people and is found in Lapland, straddling the border between Finland and Sweden. The frozen river that cuts the village serves as the border between the two countries, and the settlement is surrounded by a rolling landscape of frozen lakes and plains that provide excellent sites from which to view the Northern Lights. ›› WHAT ARE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS?

The road starts at the island city of Tromso in the north of Norway, and runs to the twin cities SWEDEN of Swedish Haparanda and Finnish Tornio on the Bay of Bothnia. The Route offers excellent chances of seeing the Northern Lights because of its location, which is predominantly within the Arctic Circle. Because of the lack of commercial city life nearby, light pollution is virtually non-existent for the most FINLAND part, which means that the Aurora’s intensity is not impaired and it appears greater than it would in cities such as Rovaniemi or Reykjavik in Iceland. NORWAY Along the Route, which stretches for 620 kilometres, you can find some of Lapland’s best sights and attractions. From husky sledding across the Arctic OSLO tundra to snowmobiling down frozen rivers, an appearance of the Northern Lights could bless the most exhilarating of winter activities. The resorts of both HELSINKI Kilpisjarvi and Karesuando are located directly on the Northern Lights Route and whilst a sighting of the Aurora can never be guaranteed, your chances on an Arctic Spirit break are pretty high!

    9. Hans Gelter Snow and Ice As a Resource for Innovative Tourist Experiences in Northern Sweden, the Case of I

    Proceedings: TTL The Vienna Symposium on Polar Tourism 22nd – 25th October 2008 Vienna University of Technology 9. Hans Gelter Department of Music and media, Luleå University of Technology – Luleå, Sweden Snow and Ice as a resource for innovative tourist experiences in Northern Sweden, the case of IceTheatre and Ice Music Hall. Background Tourism in high altitude or high latitude is traditionally based on nature based experiences in an environment of snow and ice. The snow and ice covered landscape constitutes a background and substrate for “winter” outdoor activities such as downhill and cross country skiing, snow shoes hiking, dog sledge and snow mobile driving1 and on ice covered waters cross‐country skating, ice‐ sailing and ice fishing. Recently other motorised snow activities such as driving quads and car racing on frozen lakes have been added to winter activities in Northern Scandinavia. Parallel to such nature based outdoor winter activities artic and high altitude areas have a long history of cultural winter activities of the form of winter sports, events and cultural constructions in snow and ice. Cultural winter attractions includes traditional winter markets such as “Jokkmokks marknad”2 in Northern Sweden which started already in 1705 and has developed from a traditional trading market into a Sami tourism event3. Also indigenous culture events and traditions4 such as aspects of the Sami culture traditions have transformed into tourism and tourist activities such as reindeer races or visiting Sami living places etc.5 Winter and snow festivals have a long tradition in artic and sub arctic countries and have in many cities and communities become a significant cultural event.

    ENGL-4 Exam #0

    ENGL-4 GUI - 4 - Reading(Feb) [Exam ID:0FKH0C] Scan Number:2012 Read the following passage and answer questions 1 through 7. A Warm Welcome in the Arctic 1 Hotels can make a person’s stay away from home as restful as possible. Hotels provide warm beds to allow guests a peaceful night’s rest. In addition, some hotels offer guests special services such as newspapers to read in the morning, fresh coffee, and even breakfast. Hotel workers want their guests to feel warm and welcome when they stay in their hotel. 2 One hotel near the Arctic Circle, however, is different. This hotel gives its guests a cold welcome. The Ice Hotel, in Sweden, is made entirely of ice. The Ice Hotel might sound strange, but in some ways it is a typical hotel. It has a front lobby where guests check into the hotel, plenty of rooms to sleep in, and even room service, which guests can use to have food delivered to their rooms. The Ice Hotel is different, though, because most of the items are made from ice. 3 It takes more than 30 tons of ice and snow to build the Ice Hotel. It melts in the summer and is rebuilt each winter. Different builders and artists create the Ice Hotel, so each winter this famous hotel has a new shape and design. 4 The effort of building the Ice Hotel is worth it, however. Walking into the Ice Hotel is like walking into a diamond. The walls reflect even the smallest bits of light.

    PRESS INFORMATION ICEHOTEL Every year, when Torne River turns to ice a new ICEHOTEL is created in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in the north of Sweden. The ice of the river transforms to design and architecture at ICEHOTEL, an art project and the world’s first, and largest hotel built of snow and ice. Since 2016, right next to the winter open hotel of ice, you’ll find the year-round open part of ICEHOTEL, which runs on solar power and is housing twenty art- and luxurysuites of ice and snow, an ice gallery and ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL Jukkasjärvi.

    UVA-ENT-0120 COLD OPPORTUNITY (B): the ICEHOTEL STORY Nils Yngve Bergqvist Put Down the Phone in Frustration. It Was His Fourth

    UVA-ENT-0120 July 30, 2009 COLD OPPORTUNITY (B): THE ICEHOTEL STORY Nils Yngve Bergqvist put down the phone in frustration. It was his fourth attempt to connect with Curt Nycander, the head of marketing for Absolut Vodka. The idea for a partnership with a liquor company had come from one of the ice artists, whose father ran Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, a division of Diageo, an international corporation producing spirits, wine, and beer. But it turned out Johnnie Walker was not interested. It was difficult to take the rejection without bitterness. Bergqvist tried to fight it by telling himself that aesthetically, culturally, and personally it was Absolut that he really wanted on board. To shake off his disappointment, he walked out toward the new ICEHOTEL (version 1993) taking shape along his beloved Torne River. The Arctic air outside was −25ºC (−13ºF). When the construction was complete, the temperature inside the hotel would be a constant −5ºC. Bergqvist had formulated and reformulated his ideas so ICEHOTEL would look like a “vision”: The entire hotel is on loan from the mighty Torne River and is a place where time stands still. Just a short period before, fish swam in the water, and the river was a crashing torrent of whitewater, wild and frothing. And very soon, when the spring comes and then finally the summer, the rooms, the suites, the bar, the reception, in fact the entire creation, will once again become part of the rushing rapids coursing toward the sea. Guests would sleep in sleeping bags on a bed of snow and ice on reindeer skins— and would be woken up in the morning with hot lingonberry juice.

BY HANS W:SON AHLMrANN. INTRODUCTION. T he position of Sweden can scarcely be called advantageous from the point of view of commercial geography. On its peninsula in the north-west cor- ner of Europe, and with its northern boundary abutting on the Polar world, it forms a backwater to the main stream of Continental communications. The southern boundary of Sweden lies in the same latitude as the boundary between Scotland and England, and as Labrador and British Columbia in America; while its northern boundary lies in the same latitude as the northern half of Greenland and the Arctic archipelago of America.
