Torne River Anomaly

ART SUITE TORNE RIVER ANOMALY

DESIGN JACK PRESCOTT & MAT FOSTER | ICEHOTEL 34 | AVAILABLE DECEMBER 2023 - APRIL 2024

During an exploration expedition in 2011, the Ocean Explorer Team discovered a strange formation on the bed of the Baltic Sea. It was named the ”Baltic Sea Anomaly”. In 2023, several other anomalies have been uncovered, including the one you have entered.

The Torne River has a direct link to the Baltic Sea. Explorers believe that the original ship was abandoned and that the extra-terrestrial forces travelled upstream in the Torne River before crashing, yet again, in Jukkasjärvi.

The room you have entered – the Torne River Anomaly – echoes the notion of a mysterious world that has been preserved in the ice for centuries. You will see a carved narrative depicting other anomalies such as the extra-terrestrial hieroglyphs telling the story of the Baltic Sea Anomaly.
