Alta Igloo Retreat in Arctic Norway
Isbreen The Glacier takes its name from the Øksfjordjøkel glacier nearby, the only place on mainland Europe where a glacier reaches the sea. Its five geodesic domes rise from the boreal forest above the Arctic Circle, overlooking the Jøkelfjord. This three-night stay is in an igloo with a private terrace, jacuzzi, and transparent ceiling, in an area where the northern lights appear 200 nights a year on average. Days bring a private snowshoe hike, wilderness skiing, and a fjord safari for whales, all-inclusive with a private chef.
