Ice Hotel (111)Join New Yorkers Katie and Mark as they embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure at the only ice hotel in North America. The Ice Hotel Québec-Canada is constructed from 11,000 tons of snow and 350 tons of ice; it takes five weeks to build. Inside, there's an ice bar, two art galleries, a fiber-optic ice chandelier and a wedding chapel.
After spending a night on a block of ice, the couple heads out for a full day of winter activities, including dog sledding and ice fishing. Once they reach their limit, they set off for a tour of Québec City.
Tag along with Katie and Mark as they brave the elements and learn some valuable wilderness survival lessons from a guide. To quote Katie at the end of the trip, "Be adventurous...Just do it...You'll love it...You'll be glad that you did!"
