New Year’s Eve on the Torne river bank in Jukkasjärvi is truly something spectacular. For the midnight stroke, locals and visitors from around the world gather in ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL Jukkasjärvi to toast the New Year “in the rocks” rather than “on the rocks” in cocktail glasses made from blocks of Torne River ice.

For New Year 2012, Dutch stylist Marjolein Vonk and Marinus Vroom of theatre production company Vis à Vis did set up a performance in an outdoor theatre made from ice and snow from Torne River.
