Glass igloos are specially designed to watch the Northern Lights and the starry sky directly from your bed. Thanks to the glass roof you get a panoramic view of the Arctic sky without having to go outside into the cold. Many glass igloo resorts are also located outside the city, where there is very little light pollution, which increases the chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
