Snow castle opens in Finland





The snow castle, in the northern town of Kemi, Finland, has a hotel, a restaurant and a chapel which are all located inside its thick snow walls.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people visit the attraction and some are even keen to stay in the 48 rooms where temperatures are only -5C regardless of the outdoor temperature, which is normally between -15 and -20C.
But while newlyweds get to snuggle up in the honeymoon ice suite, they have to use sleeping bags suitable for Arctic conditions and don ski hats, socks and thermal undies.
