Igloo Viewing Pods, Finland

However, the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finland has glass igloos that give you the most spectacular views of the Northern Lights, all from the comfort of a warm bed. The resort offers two and four-person glass igloos with unmitigated views of the Finnish sky, as well as log cabins, snow igloos and a Kelo-Glass Igloo which offers you the comfort and space of a log-cabin.
Finland is just under a three hour flight from the UK. You can even visit Santa’s home while you're there, experience ice-swimming and relax in the largest smoke sauna in the world.
