Finland Igloo Hotel Has Floating Huts

How about adding an Arctic glass igloo to your wanderlust wish list? Thanks to Arctic Guesthouse & Igloos, you can stay in a “floating igloo boat” on the shores of Lake Ranua in Finland. It’s the perfect spot to witness the Northern Lights (aurora borealis), a breathtaking natural phenomenon in which the night sky dances with dazzling lights created by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere. The glass igloo resort includes 10 fully mobile, floating igloo boats powered by electric engines (they can also be pulled by an ATV when the lake is frozen over). There’s also a separate space for your luggage, tea and coffee facilities, a small work desk, a Bluetooth panel for smart devices, USB charging ports and indoor temperature controls.

Everything you need to know about Finnish sauna culture

Sauna culture is well known as a Scandinavian thing, but while the majority think they come from Sweden, saunas are originally a Finnish custom. In fact, one of the easiest ways to annoy a Finn is to suggest that the sauna is Swedish. Last December, the Finnish sauna was added to UNESCO’s Cultural Heritage list, a sign of how integral the sauna is to almost every Finn’s household.

Originating from rural areas, the sauna has evolved over the years and nowadays it is easy to find a variety of saunas.
