An **Ice hotel** is a temporary hotel made up of snow, sculpted blocks of ice and some steel framing. They are promoted by their sponsors and have special features for travelers who are interested in novelties and unusual environments, and thus are in the class of destination hotels .Their lobbies are often filled with ice sculptures and food and beverages are specially chosen for the circumstances. All of the ice hotels are reconstructed every year, and are dependent upon constant sub-freezing temperatures during construction and operation. The walls, fixtures, and fittings are made entirely of ice, and are held together using a substance known as since which takes the place of mortar in a traditional brick-built hotel.

The ice hotel has to shut during summer seeing as the ice turns to slush. they have to rebuild every year, so it has a fresh new style every season The Ice Hotel is open every year from December to April. It is demolished in May, as it begins a meltdown. It will not collapse, have no fear. The hotel is about as sturdy as it gets. Rocket propelled grenades tested by the Swedish military had minimal impact on the walls.

Inside ICE-HOTEL, the temperature is never colder than -5 °C to -8 °C, regardless of how cold it may be outside. Comfortably furnished with furniture made from ice. Unique artwork decorates the rooms. You sleep in a thermal sleeping bag on a special bed built of snow and ice, on reindeer skins.

**Chapter 1**
 * 1) Why did Jack like the morning best of all?

Because everything was ‘ so still and peaceful’ ‘jack loved this time of day and always had - so quite you could hear the fish breathing’ so jack liked the morning because he found it peaceful and relaxing.


 * 1) What was always watching him at home?

The judgmental eyes of others. explanation ‘ not like back home .there were always eyes watching him there - watching and waiting ‘. “hey four - eyes ! Cant you wash those fly spots off your face?” - so people were always looking at him either to ridicule him or simply to see the way he was acting etc.

“hey four - eyes ! Cant you wash those fly spots off your face?” so he obviously has glasses and freckles glasses ( from the phrase four eyes which is usally tanted to children with glasses) and freckles ( from fly spots . And freckles look like fly spots ) On a remote beach ( Wetapunga bay ) it was crescent shaped, with steep cliffs rising at each end. coverd in scarlet Pohutu-Kawa trees and windswept ti-tree.
