Every winter, the small Swedish village of Jukkasj\u00e4rvi builds an Icehotel. Almost 50,000 people will visit each season, and artists from around the world come to build sculptural, light-based or even typographic installations for themed rooms. This year is the 25th edition of the iconic frozen palace, which uses almost 1,000 tons of frozen water and about 7 million gallons of snow and ice from the nearby Torne River. The hotel is structurally sound and the ephemeral installations are inspired by everything from love and baroque architecture to the inner workings of a clock.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of this year’s rooms, along with some other Icehotel madness.<\/p>\n
