    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
    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.

  • The Art of Survey of the Earth from Finnmark Expeditions in Finnmark for «Struve's Geodetic Arc» 1845-1850
    Gerd Johanne Valen 2016 The Art of Survey of the Earth from Finnmark Expeditions in Finnmark for «Struve's geodetic arc» 1845-1850. Written by Gerd Johanne Valen 2016. Struve's geodetic arc was added to Unesco’s list of the world’s natural and cultural heritage in 2005. The geodetic arc was measured from 1816 to 1852. It was the first accurate measurement of a long geodetic arc which made it possible to calculate the earth's size and shape. It was also the longest and northernmost geodetic arc in the 1800s. The co-operation between prominent surveyors, geodesists and monarchs characterized the story of this world heritage. Less well known is an account of the surveyors' seasonal fieldwork in West Finnmark from 1845 to 1850. What were the major challenges? How did they use the landscape of West Finnmark to measure a chain of triangles and a series of measurements from Hammerfest to the Black Sea? This article will mainly look closer to the story we can read from the fieldworks logbooks. The World Heritage Struve's geodetic arc was named after Fredrik Georg Wilhelm Struve (17931864), who was a professor of mathematics and astronomy in today`s Tartu in Estonia. He was responsible for the triangulation in Livland, which was a part of Russia. In 1820 Struve put forward a suggestion to the authorities to carry out a chain of survey triangulation in the Baltic region. He argued that this work would have great scientific value and would also be important for mapping the country. The military surveyor Carl Tenner was engaged in surveying work in Lithuania.

  • Our. Knowledge of the Geology of the Alta District of West Finnmark Owes Much to the Work of Holtedahl (1918, 1960) and Føyn (1964)
    Correlation of Autochthonous Stratigraphical Sequences in the Alta-Repparfjord Region, West Finnmark DAVID ROBERTS & EIGILL FARETH Roberts, D. & Fareth, E.: Correlation of autochthonous stratigraphical se­ quences in the Alta-Repparfjord region, west Finnmark. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 54, pp. 123-129. Oslo 1974. An outline of the geology of the area between Alta and the Komagfjord tectonic window is presented. Lithologies (including a tillite) constituting an autochthonous sequence are described from an area on the north-east side of Altafjord, and from their similarity to those of formations occurring in adjacent areas a revised regional stratigraphical correlation is proposed. An occurrence of biogenic structures appears to provide confirmatory evidence for an earlier suggested correlation with Late Precambrian sequences be­ tween west and east Finnmark. D. Roberts & E. Fareth, Norges Geologiske Undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, 7001 Trondheim, Norway. Regional setting; previous correlations Our. knowledge of the geology of the Alta district of west Finnmark owes much to the work of Holtedahl (1918, 1960) and Føyn (1964). The oldest rocks, the Raipas Group or Series (Reitan 1963a) of Precambrian (Karelian) age, are represented by a sequence of greenschist facies metasediments, metavolcanics and intrusives. Lying unconformably upon the Raipas is a quartzite formation, a thin tillite, and a mixed shale and sandstone succession. Holtedahl (1918) re­ ferred to these autochthonous post-Raipas rocks as the 'Bossekopavdelingen', but Føyn (1964) later demonstrated the presence of an angular uncon­ formity beneath the tillite and adopted this break as the border between what he termed the Bossekop Group and the overlying sediments, the Borras Group. These were later referred to as sub-groups (Føyn 1967, Pl.
