10.Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel,the world's first igloo (冰屋) hotel.(41)Built(build) in a small town,it has been attracting lots of visitors,but soon the fun will be over.In two week's time Bergqvist's ice creation(42)will be(be) nothing more than a pool of water."We don't see it as a big problem,"he says."We just look forward to(43)replacing(replace) it."
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991for an art exhibition.It was(44)sosuccessful that he designed the present one,(45)which measures roughly 200square meters.Six workmen spent more than eight weeks(46)piling(pile) 1,000tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze,the base(47)was removed(remove).
After their stay,all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.(48)Withno windows,nowhere to hang clothes at temperatures below 0℃,it may seem more like a survival test(49)than a relaxing hotel break."It's great fun,"Bergqvist explains,"As well as a good start in survival training."
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt:it is now attracting tourists(50)fromall over the world.At least 800people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10rooms.
