YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Nearly 100 workers race to Jukkasjarvi, Sweden, each November to build the world-renowned Icehotel. They have only weeks to create the entire structure and all the rooms before mid-December, and the materials pose some unique logistical challenges. The hotel includes a main hall, a ceremony hall for weddings and 12 suites custom-made by artists from around the world.

WSJ traveled to Sweden to see the steps and the challenges of how this hotel is made every year from 30,000 tons of ice and snow.
