How do I know? I spent 3 years at Deadhorse, AK. Deadhorse is at 70 degrees NORTH latitude. Kiruna is at 68 degrees north latitude. On June 1st, there is no DARK sky at that latitude. So it has to be inside a building. Now you might say well the ice hotel itself will keep out the light.....no way. The sunlight would shine through the ice. It is most definitely inside their cold storage warehouse. That way they dont have to construct the parts again next winter.At Deadhorse, we had about 70 days when the sun never set. It got close, but was always in the sky. That means about 35 days before June 21st, and about 35 days after June 21st. It is pretty weird, but the sun just went around in circles for those 70 days.

There's a nice video of the ice hotel on this page:http://www.simplysweden.co.uk/icehotel/.Sorry, I'm at work, so I can't grab images or videos and embed them. Plaidmoon

No I haven't seen the video, just the caps. but I do not think that is the real Ice hotel. It looks more like the storage shed where they store the ice over the summer. There are a number of ice blocks stored in the background, and the place looks very big. As far as I know the actual ice hotel lacks any really large indoor spaces. Also as far as I know the hotel should be melted when the race passed by.To me it looks like the back of the clue just reads "Route info" written in two different fonts on top of each other.
Why in heaven's name were you at Deadhorse?
Go to the end (around 1:40) of this clip to see the dog camp that gets my vote:But I like the look of Peach's Plaidmoon's dog camp better.
I'm having trouble matching the location of the dogsledding but i think I have matched a dog to the IceHotel ! Look in this youtube video of dogsledding at the Ice Hotel: YouTubeHere are video captures from the preview and from the YouTube video:

I know its been awhile but it doesn't look like any snowmobiles I have ever seen.I live way way south of snowmobile country, but I just assumed it was a mini-snowmobile. Along the same line as mini-motorcycles and mini-4wheelers that they manufacture for little people.
