32 Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences to Add to Your Bucket List

3. Camp Under the Northern Lights in a Glass Igloo in Finland

Watching the Aurora Borealis dance across the night sky is one of the most mesmerizing natural spectacles on Earth—but imagine experiencing it from the comfort of a heated glass igloo, nestled deep in the Finnish wilderness. In Finnish Lapland, you can stay in a luxury glass igloo or a cozy log cabin with a panoramic skylight, allowing you to witness the sky come alive with swirling ribbons of green, pink, and purple light—all from the warmth of your bed. The experience is both magical and surreal, as the silent Arctic landscape provides the perfect backdrop for the celestial show overhead. Some igloo resorts, such as Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort and Levin Iglut, even offer private hot tubs, so you can soak under the stars while the Northern Lights dance above you. During the day, you can take part in Arctic adventures like husky sledding, snowmobiling, or reindeer safaris, making your stay a full-fledged winter wonderland escape. Best Time to Go: September to March, when the skies are darkest, and the auroras are most active.
