Arctic Guesthouse & Igloos in Ranua is one of the first places on the planet, where you can actually stay in a fully movable glass igloo boat. In winter these glass igloos can be pulled around a lake with an ATV or snowmobile and in summer they turn into boats that float on top of the lake and can even be driven on the lake, powered with their own electric engines. Talko about an ideal accommodation option to observe nature phenomenon such as the #northernlights aka #auroraborealis in #lapland in #finland.
