On our trip to northern Finland, I slept in quite an unusual place. I slept in an igloo for one night! Although I didn’t build it – I watched the adults shovel and pat the snow into place – I found the igloo experience very enjoyable.
Initially, I was quite reluctant considering it was -35 degrees Celsius outside. But the guide at Basecamp Oulanka explained that it would keep the heat in. She was right. It turned out to be a snug zero degrees. I slept in the igloo with a few other kids who were at Basecamp, plus an adult. It was cosy! We slept in very warm sleeping bags and as the night progressed it felt warmer due to our warm bodies. In fact, I discovered that igloo water was dripping on my feet by morning. If you ever get the chance, definitely try sleeping in an igloo for a night.

My hat off. I did not knew that You have visited Finland. Finland is quite unknown and if people visit, then they stay only in Helsinki without knowing nothing about the rest of Finland.
Here my two favorite winter post::
World’s Biggest Snow Castle.
Arctic Circle in winter.
This winter, I’ll visit them again.
Happy Sunday!
Yes, we went to north Finland one winter, and the children still say that it was their best holiday ever ! It is a super accolade, especially coming from them. I would like to go back up north to see how the white landscape looks dressed in summer colours.
Sounds great. The best time to visit Lapland is fall. Then everywhere there are wonderful red colors. I have many posts, but it is another thing.
I’ve never thought of that. Thank you for the tip !
Wow, sleeping in an igloo! I would love it. But how would I do if I want to go to loo in the middle of night? This is a genuine question. Please answer me! (^-^;)
The Igloo was on a frozen lake, near the edge of a small area of trees. I’m a boy and I didn’t really need to worry (as much) 🙂 but there was a toilet in a small wooden shack on the edge of the lake.
