AURORA !!!

Chena Hot Springs Resort, Alaska is the place where the famous Aurora Ice Museum can be seen. It was completed in 2005 and a thousand tonnes of ice and snow were used to  build it. The temperature is maintained at 20 degrees Farenheit inside the museum. Keeping the museum icy cold in the heat of summer comes from the patented absorption chiller, the first of its kind in the world used for this purpose!

The Aurora Ice Museum gallery features amazing ice sculptures created by 13 time world champion ice carver Steve Brice and his team. Within the museum, they have created a two storey observation tower with a circular staircase, life size jousters on horse back, a polar bear bedroom, a Christmas tree bedroom, an igloo and an ice outhouse among other pieces of ice art and additional chambers made exclusively with Alaska Diamond or Alaska Marble ice.
The Aurora Ice Museum t is truly one of a kind because it is open year-round!
