Over the weekend 24-25 Januari ASCOS was among a few Swedish IPY projects that were presented at the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi outside Kiruna in northern Sweden. The presentation was part of a Stockholm University exhibition on Swedish IPY research that will remain at the Icehotel until it melts. In addition to the exhibition, we were also given oppertunity to present our research - and the reasons for it - to the many guides that work at the hotel, who have plenty of contact with visitors and can perhaps inspire them about how fashinating Arctic research is. The Icehotel is an unlikely hotel of snow and ice that is rebuilt in Jukkasjärvi every winter, using ice from Lule River that flows right passed the little village, and of course melts come spring.
