Filled with amazing ice sculptures, the hotel has been built and rebuilt every year since 1989 in the village of Jukkasjarvi, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, near the banks of the Torne River.

The construction of this year's Icehotel, the 33rd overall, saw 24 artists from around the world spend weeks painstakingly creating 12 unique suites, plus a luxury suite at Icehotel 365, the year-round version.

A shimmering dome, video game-inspired sculptures, and oversized mushrooms are among the beautiful ice creations that have been sculpted on the site.
