Getting the glass room
- Book it by name. Choose "Premium Igloo", not a standard room or cabin.
- Ask about what the website doesn't say. It doesn't mention: private sauna, private hot tub, own bathroom. Email before you pay.
- Check the confirmation. It should name the glass room. If it doesn't, contact the property.
How dark is the sky here?
Some town glow
It sits right next to brightly lit buildings in satellite images. Strong aurora shows well. Faint aurora is harder to see against the glow.
