They are quite different than I anticipated with their glass roofs.

I stayed in the glass igloo few years ago . It was comfortable enough , the beds certainly were , similar to the adjustable hospital ones but much better

We stayed at Nellim Wilderness first

But their " AURORA BUBBLE " was not even launched then .
Would have stayed in these if they were .

Loved our aurora borealis adventure , saw them nightly . Spectacular !!

But being outside was really amazing , we were literally in the wilderness ! So so remote ..
