Kautokeino, Norway Kautokeino is a small town about 280 miles north of the Arctic Circle, so it’s not exactly the typical warm and sunny vacation destination

Temperatures rarely rise above zero in winter, so the snow never melts However, 5 people have started lining-up to watch movies in the new drive-in ice movie

theater! “We wanted to create a different movie experience,” says Hakon Issat Vars, director of the Sami Film Festival “The entire theater is made from ice and snow We've built a snow amphitheater with reindeer skins to sit on, and the actual

screen is made from ice, too.” 10

As most of the people here use snowmobiles, visitors can drive in on their snowmobiles Not surprisingly, ice cream isn’t on sale, but people can treat themselves to a lovely hot chocolate, and a local snack of dried reindeer meat instead

If you want to enjoy two hours under the Arctic night sky, then Kautokeino is just 15 the place Pack some warm clothes and check it out Trust me! | have been

Always pay attention to the NO DIVING signs around the pool ONLY dive in designated areas
