Kirkenes

Half way point, we turn around today and start heading back to Bergen. But first a 3 hour trip across to the ice hotel. Created entirely of ice (in summer it is covered with tarpaulin and cold air piped in to keep the frame frozen. Normal hotel features with 9 rooms with ice beds and a bar it is full of ice sculptures and ice/snow carvings on the walls. Part two was the reindeer, 3 reindeer are rented from the Sami people and came close enough to be hand fed some moss. Finally a dog sledge trip through the countryside and across a nearby frozen lake.Leer más
