Our igloos have full baths offering a shower, hairdryer, toilet, and vanity sink with all the comforts travelers expect. All domes are thoughtfully provided with soap, conditioner, and shampoo.

Nightly Aurora Reminder

Never miss an aurora borealis event. Our staff will alert you any time of night when the northern lights dance across the sky.
