Six people were lightly injured when the roof of a bar built of snow collapsed on them in northern Finland on Tuesday.
There were only 14 people inside the Ruka ski resort's Ice Bar at the time of the accident. All were able to get out on their own.

"Plenty of snow and ice came down, perhaps some tonnes. Fortunately there was nobody directly underneath the collapsing roof," Heikki Levón, the Oulu-Koillismaa district's fire chief, told the Finnish News Agency (STT) on Tuesday.

"Building out of snow is usually quite safe, but this time something strange happened and we must investigate what it was," Mr Levón added.
