Day 4: IGLOO VILLAGE KAKSLAUTTANEN - Igloo
Night
Today is a day at leisure to relax and enjoy the beautiful, peaceful
settings. The more energetic may want to try cross-country skiing or
ice-fishing. There is a real arctic, yet perfectly comfortable experience in
store for you tonight. You have a rare opportunity to try sleeping in a
temperature below zero, warm and snug in your padded sleeping bag, breathing
in crisp, fresh air. The temperature inside the igloo varies between minus 3
and minus 6 degrees Centigrade, but the padded sleeping bags, reindeer hides
and woolen rugs would keep you warm even at much lower temperatures. There
are also a couple of glass igloos available with normal temperature and you
have the option to experience the polar night in one of them. Dinner
