A one-night stay in a glass igloo at the Kakslautta­nen resort starts at $390 (Canadian). This includes transfers to and from the Ivalo airport and three meals.

Excursions can be booked for an additional fee.

The hotel is open all year-round, but the winter season, which is the best time to spot the northern lights, lasts from November until the end of April.

The mercury regularly drops to around -20 C in November and December, although January is one of the coldest months, with temperatur­es regularly plummeting to -30 C.

The currency in Finland is the euro and the most common language is Finnish, which is spoken by 90 per cent of residents. The capital of Finland is Helsinki. The flight to Ivalo, which is the nearest town to the Kakslautta­nen resort, takes 90 minutes.
