Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist who lived from 1833 to 1896. Alfred and his brother made explosives, but in 1864 there was an accident in the laboratory and Alfred’s brother was killed. Alfred then decided to spend his life truing to make explosives safer to use.
One of the strongest explosives at that time was nitroglycerine. This explosive, which looks like oily water, is very dangerous to use or even to carry. Nobel wanted to study nitroglycerine so he could find a way to make it safer. Nobel had an idea of taking nitroglycerine out on a boat in the middle of a lake and working with it there.
When Nobel wanted to take the nitroglycerine he was working with from one place to another, he put it into small boxes. Then he put the small boxes into a larger box made of clay. One day, when he opened the large clay box, he found that nitroglycerine was coming out of one of the small boxes. To his surprise, the large clay box was still dry. This gave him the idea of mixing clay with nitroglycerine. The clay would take the oil out of nitroglycerine and make it safer. He called this explosive ‘dynamite’.

The invention of gunpowder is thought to have originated in the 5th or 6th century in central Asia, but there isn’t any proof that gunpowder was used for warfare until the 12th century, when a kind of rocket was made. The Chinese actually used gunpowder to make firecrackers, which they used on religious festival days.
In the 19th century, Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor, made his famous discovery that would change the way that wars were fought. Dynamite was first used in the war in South Africa, and he eventually became a multi-millionaire. Alfred was a pessimist who never experienced real happiness since he felt that he had some responsibility for the loss of so many lives. As a result of these guilty feelings, he established a fund of nine million dollars for the formation of the internationally famous Nobel Prizes, the most important of which is the Peace Prize.

The Jukkasjarvi Icehotel in Sweden is an interesting and cold place for a holiday. It started life as an igloo (a small house made of snow) at an art exhibition in 1989.
Hundreds of people visited the exhibition and some even slept there, so the builders decided to make it a hotel.
The Icehotel is open for less than half a year. Every May it melts and every November it is rebuilt. It now measures 5000m2 and it needs 14,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of snow to build it. This actually means that it is more than 88% snow.
