Finland is one of the best locations in the world to view the stunning Northern Lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis). These natural phenomena are spectacular light shows visible during specific periods of the year and can be seen through the glass-roofed Finland igloos.

Northern Lights are truly mesmerizing and one of the [best reasons to plan a trip](https://viatravelers.com/most-beautiful-places-in-the-world/) to Finland. You can enjoy your stay at Finland’s glass igloo hotels while you enjoy the natural beauty of the lights and landscapes. 

Traditionally, igloos are made from compressed snow chunks like building blocks stacked around a circular hole in the ground, forming a dome.

Despite what you might think, snow has amazing insulation properties, making it a popular shelter-building material for humans and hibernating animals. This makes sense since water is a great conductor of thermal energy.

![Northern Lights in Finland](https://viatravelers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Northern-Lights-in-Finland.jpg)

But that’s not all. These Finland igloos can keep you warm because their floor is never flat like a tent or cabin. Instead, it is cut into terraces that build an upper level for sleeping, one for fire, and a lower level for use as a cold sink. 

The cold air falls, gathers on the lowest floor, and stays there while the warm air naturally rises because it is lighter and remains in the parts of the igloo that people use to sleep in.

Not only that, but the snow block roof has gone, replaced with glass, allowing you to sleep under the stars in comfort. In this modern world, glass igloos in Finland have become a trend, making a comfortable and luxurious stay within the country more memorable.

Some are equipped with an ice restaurant, an outdoor hot tub, heated floors, cooking facilities, and glass-roofed cabins. Here, you can enjoy a night and wait for the Northern lights or the magical midnight sun to show up. 

You can visit Finland all year round as the igloo hotels operate throughout the year in the coldest parts of the country!

### Historical Aspects of Finnish Igloos

In Finland, the word is the same but is spelled “iglu.” The Sámi are an indigenous population in Finland and other parts of Scandinavia, with approximately 10,000 living in Finland.

As one of the first dwellers within the area, they are most well-known for their skill at herding reindeer. Its flesh is eaten, the skins and furs are used for clothing and footwear, and the antlers and bones are carved into useful implements and ornamental pieces.

But the Sami people of Lapland didn’t actually use igloos as their primary dwelling; rather, they used them in earth houses. Iglus would normally be built by Sámis on long hunts as a temporary shelter. An experienced Sámi could whip up a small iglu in about an hour.

![Beautiful Northern Lights ](https://viatravelers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Stunning-Northern-Lights.jpg)

Inuits are far more famous for using igloos as their primary or permanent residence. Funnily enough, the Inuit word for dwelling or habitation is “igloo,” which can also be translated as “snow house.”

The Inuit do not limit the phrase to snow houses but also include traditional tents, sod huts, and driftwood cottages. Today, that term extends to more modern buildings, such as igloo hotels or glass igloo.

While hunting in the Arctic Circle, some Inuit and Sámi still utilize igloos as temporary shelters. But the early twenty-first century’s changing temperature made it harder to find the right snow for building igloos.

### Cultural Significance

While not of great cultural significance to the resident Sámi, igloos have strong cultural importance for Inuits. Some elders teach the young how to build igloos as part of the larger lesson about living off the land.

Traditional Inuit teachings have always incorporated building igloos across the North and Nunavut, Canada. Qualified Inuit elders can pass on skills like igloo building to students across schools. Some places also have Igloo-building competitions across Arviat and Iqaluit at different times.
