Tallest Teenagers Around The World

2010-08-28T12:58:02Z

Elisany Silva from Brazil

The 14 year-old Brazilian teen with 6’9″ tall. Her height hasn’t come without problems. She had to leave school as she could no longer safely sit down in the school bus. Her parents don’t have enough money to determine the cause of or treat her inordinate growth. A medical specialist speculates that she has a rare disease called Gigantismo, a condition that causes the brain to over produce growth hormones. But Elisany wants to make the best of her size, explaining that she is interested in modeling. She will soon make her runway debut at a bridal fashion show in Belem, Brazil.

Malee Duangdee from Thailand

She is 17 year-old and 6 feet 10 inches tall. Her stature is due to a tumour on her pituitary gland which makes her body produce too much growth hormone. Malee had two unsuccessful operations to remove the tumour and her only hope is a tumour-shrinking drug which her father, a poorly paid labourer, cannot afford.

Igloo Village Kakslauttanen Hotel in Finland

2010-08-24T11:38:29Z

Hotel Kakslauttanen is located in the Saariselkä fell area amidst beautiful Lapland scenery in the vicinity if Urho Kekkonen National Park, Finland. In the winter time they have Igloo Village, open each year between December and January depending on the weather conditions and stays open until the end of April.

Igloo Village offers a possibility to enjoy a range of unique winter recreation activities like spending a night in a snow or glass igloo, dining in a snow restaurant, admiring ice marvels in the Ice Gallery or getting married in their highly popular snow chapel.

There are 20 glass igloos, 60 beds in snow igloos and an one of a kind glass kota. The snow restaurant provides seating for 50-150 people. And on every evening a hot sauna and a refreshing ice hole are waiting for you.

The temperature inside the snow igloo stays always between -3°C and -6°C. Besides a warm down sleeping bag (rated extreme temperature is -32°C), they also provide woollen socks and a hood, so that you will never feel cold. Built from a special thermal glass the temperature inside the igloo always stays at a normal level. It also prevents the glass from not getting white frosted, hence keeping the view clear even when the temperature outside drops to under -30°C. Every igloo is equipped with a toilet and luxury beds.

Glass igloo provides an one of a kind opportunity to admire the northern lights and millions of stars of the crystal clear Lapp sky in a comfortable room temperature, as in the area there are not so many electric lights outside and it is north enough so that the probability of them is very high from late August until late April.

The Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis.
