200 nights of the year, the Northern Lights can be seen here. Here you can drift off to sleep under the aurora borealis inside a glass igloo at the Kakslauttanen Resort, located north of the Arctic Circle. Search the night sky for the lights from a romantic reindeer-drawn sleigh ride through the wilderness.
There are many options including wood and glass igloos, lakeside domes, seaside glass villas, and sky cabins complete with glass roofs and windows. You can even stay in a traditional log house that has its own private sauna!
If you live in the US and need to stay closer to home, visit Cherry Springs State Park. Luckily, you don’t need a passport to see the aurora borealis. This is an official Gold Level International Dark Sky Park. (Gold is actually the highest rating assigned by the renowned International Dark Sky Association.) Here park staff employ special light fixtures that do not inhibit your visibility and even have strict rules regarding flashlights and vehicle headlights.
