What's hot in the Arctic? A giant sauna!

What's being billed as the world's largest sauna, holding 100 visitors, has been set up on a beach in northern Norway, inside the Arctic Circle, for the SALT festival of art, music and architecture on SandhornØya Island, near BodØ in northern Norway. 

 

You'd better rush if you want to try it out, though...when the festival is over the structure will go into storage for later use at events in northern regions around the world including Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Ireland, Scotland, Spitsbergen, Alaska and Russia. 

 

The sauna is only one of numbers  of temporary buildings created for eating, lectures, performances and more; they are mostly A-frame buildings designed to resemble traditional Norwegian fish-drying racks. More info and more pictures at TheLocal.no

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
