PHOTOS: 13 Chilly Spots Made Of Ice

Winter is fast-approaching and that means, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, that it's time for the snow to start falling and ice structures to start being made.

The Ice Hotel in Sweden has long been a famous fixture on the wintertime scene. Now there are replicas and new uses for ice around the world, from bars (thanks to Ice Bar, a chain started by, you guessed it, Absolut Vodka) to "palaces."

Check out these 13 uses for ice around the world. Have you been to a cool ice hotel or ice bar (or even ice palace or museum)? Send us your photos!
