Far, far from civilisation you find this fantasy world inspired by the deep lake Torneträsk. Here lives all kinds of creatures, even invisible ones. You will sleep safe in a bed, placed behind your protector, the biggest sea monster ever found: The Guardian, who lives parallel with us and has the ability to perceive the body's position, a sixth sense.
The bath nymphs and the sea monster interact together, and their vision is to create peace on earth and preserve the environment and the ocean. The sea monster is hand carved using a 9,6 tonnes of ice plocks, sealed together to get a huge creature.
