An igloo camp in which tourists can spend the night has opened at the Kitzsteinhorn glacier in Salzburg province, Austria.
Organisers said reservations for a night at "Ice Camp 2010" can be made via www.ice-camp.at where special package deals including whirlpool and sauna visits, archery lessons and a night-time hike are on offer.
Adventurers daring to stay in the ice-cold village are outfitted with special sleeping bags that offer protection against temperatures down to minus 40 degrees centigrade.
Around 60 tonnes of ice and 5,000 cubic metres of snow were needed to set up the igloo village at 2,500 metres above sea level that will be open until mid-April.
Organisers said people on holidays at the popular skiing resort would be invited to come and visit the camp, which features eleven igloos, an "Ice Bar" and an "Ice Lounge".
