Glass igloos and aurora cabins in Norway

4 places in Norway where you sleep under glass, each checked on its own website: the room to book, heated glass, aurora alarm, sauna and hot tub. Norway's glass stays sit along the fjords of Troms, where the mountains block town light and the coast keeps winters milder than in Finnish Lapland.
