These movable glass igloo pods are ideal accommodation option for seeing the northern lights
Many people have heard and read about different kind of accommodation options with large scenic windows, which were planned for experiencing the northern lights close to the arctic circle. Fully movable glass igloo pods take things to a whole new level though.
Full movability offers unlimited options
Glass igloos have become an integral part of winter tourism in Finnish Lapland over the past decade. Seeing the northern lights close to the arctic circle has also found it’s place on top of many travelers’ “To Do” lists and this also means that there is all the time more options available to make these dreams possible.
But is seeing the Auroras in middle of an artificially built glass igloo village, next to roads and settlements, really the best possible way to experience them? In my opinion no: the northern lights are always at their best in locations where there are no human-built structures or any excessive light pollution.
One option would be to take part in a Northern lights’ safari either with snowmobiles or snowshoes, which have become increasingly popular in Finland. But a more comfortable option could be to stay in a fully movable glass igloo that can be freely taken to middle of nowhere, where there is no light pollution or any marks of people’s handprints.
“Last night, we actually took one of these literally in middle of the lake, away from all the light pollution and it was an experience out of this world. Like, I’m just chilling and really just taking all these aurora lights and realizing… Like, if you are not from Finland or from the Nordic countries, the experience just is out of this world. And I really hope that you guys can experience something like this as well, because it just is something else, especially if you are from the United States or Australia.”Described the famous social media professional Adrian Gruzka (AdrianGee) when visiting Ranua and trying out one of the movable glass igloos in Ranua in March 2020.
