Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel in Alta, Norway. Everything is carved out of snow and ice, and the entire hotel melts around the month of April. It is built for the 13th time in 2012.
It has rooms and suites with ice beds, lounges and a bar where even the glasses are made out of ice. The hotel is decorated with ice sculptures and carvings in every room.

Osteo-chondro-myxosarcoma before and after surgical intervention
Osteogenic tumors develop bone that displaces soft tissue. Osteo- means “bone”, and -genic means “to form”. In addition to the osteogenic behavior, this patient’s tumor has caused disordered cartilage (chondro-) and mucous membrane (myxo-) growth.
The case report states that it took “many” surgeries to completely remove the tumor and partially reconstruct the jaw, but that the patient lived a further 8 years after removal, and experienced no recurrence of the tumor in that time. While his vision suffered, as the left eye was unsalvagable, and his speech was impeded by both the incomplete jaw reconstruction and the excess skin remaining on the face, he was able to hold down a steady job and communicate. He was reported to be of “average-to-high” intelligence.
Tumors of the Jaws. Charles Locke Scudder, 1912.
