Historically the sculpture has melted each spring but now, thanks to an innovative new solution, it can stay year-round.

以前每年春天雕塑都會融化，但現在多虧了一個創新的解決方法，它可以維持一年四季。

So how is it done?

所以是如何做到的呢？

Jukkasjärvi is situated on the Torne River, some 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle.

尤卡斯耶爾維位於托爾訥河，北極圈的北方 200 公里。

Every winter when the river freezes, a new 5,500 square metre ice hotel is constructed on its banks.

每年冬天河流結冰時，河岸邊都會建造出一座新的 5,500 立方公尺冰之旅館。

The hotel's design is unique each year with over 200 designers collaborating to sculpt unique forms for the bar, gallery, 65 rooms and a church that is popular for wedding ceremonies.

每年旅館的設計都獨一無二，有超過 200 位設計師合作為酒吧、畫廊、65 間房間和一座以舉辦以婚禮而熱門的教堂雕塑出的獨特的樣貌。

Guests usually stay for two nights in a "warm room" adjacent to the Ice Hotel with heating, bathroom and dining facilities.

賓客通常會在鄰近冰之旅館有暖氣、浴室和提供餐點的「暖房間」住兩晚。

Their night in a cold room is spent on an ice bed in arctic sleeping bags protecting them from the hotel's ambient temperature of -5 to -8 degrees Celsius.

在冰房間的晚上則睡在冰床上鋪上北極睡袋以在旅館周圍 -5 至 -8 度攝氏的氣溫下保護他們。

The 2,500 ice blocks used to construct the hotel each winter are actually harvested during the previous spring and preserved in nearby storage halls ready for work to commence.

每年冬天用來建造旅館的 2,500 塊冰磚，其實在早先春天就已收集好，並保存在鄰近的儲藏屋等待開工。

The material used is referred to as "snice" – a carefully calculated mixture of snow and ice that reflects the sun's winter rays and prevents the hotel from melting.

材料被稱為 "snice" - 一種經過縝密計算的冰雪混和物，能反射冬陽的輻射以及防止旅館融化。

Jukkasjärvi's high positioning on the globe means that it experiences almost 100 days of continuous daylight in summer months.

尤卡斯耶爾維在全球至高的地位意味著它歷經了夏日約 100 天連續的日照。

Traditionally the midnight sun has spelled doom for the Ice Hotel, and the unique sculpture has steadily melted back into the river.

傳統上，深夜的太陽 (兩極地區夏天深夜所見的太陽) 註定會消滅冰之旅館而獨特的雕塑會穩定的融化進河裡。

But a newly engineered approach is now harnessing the continuous sunlight and turning it to the Ice Hotel's advantage.

然而一項新出現的設計利用了持續的日照，並轉換為有助於冰之旅館。

A vaulted concrete extension filled with snow and ice to create the same hotel experience, is being cooled by refrigerators that run on solar power.

一種能創造出一模一樣的旅館體驗的地底混凝土，加上雪和冰，利用太陽能冰箱冷卻。

The site's 600 square meters of solar (PV) panels have the unique ability to capture solar energy and convert it into electricity 24 hours a day, producing 130,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year.

當地 600 平方公尺的太陽能板有特殊的能力可以獲取太陽能，並一天 24 小時轉換為電力，每年製造出 130,000 千瓦 / 時的電力。

While some of that goes toward maintaining the hotel's low ambient temperature, the surplus is used for powering ancillary office buildings and the adjacent "warm room" hotel.

部分的電力用在維持旅館的低常溫剩餘的用來替附加辦公建築和鄰近的「暖房間」供電。

The extension's exterior is designed to blend with the surrounding landscape and be compatible with the winter ice hotel that is constructed each year.

擴展的外觀設計是為了和周圍的景點融為一體能和每年建造的冰之旅館並立。

With a 365 day operation in place from 2017, visitors can now choose whether to combine their Ice Hotel visits with dog sledding and the northern lights, or hiking under the midnight sun.

自 2017 年開始了一年 365 天的運作，旅客可以選擇將冰之旅館行程，搭配狗拉雪橇和北極光，或在深夜的太陽下健行。
