    Northern Lights in Lapland

    Posted by tooeyotoole 3 January 2010

    Way up in the far reaches of northern Finland, amid the snow cloaked forests of lapland, there lies an igloo village. I had travelled with my girlfriend to the home of Father Christmas for a winter break at the Kakslauttanen holiday village; a cluster of cosy log cabins and ice and glass igloos deep within the arctic circle.
    We never did see Santa, though lying in bed beneath the glass roof of our igloo we were treated to a phantasmagoric light show like we’d never seen. Shimmering between stars that I never even knew existed was the spectacular aurora borealis, a sight more magical than seeing the old man himself!
    Sightings of the Northern Lights can never be guaranteed, though in one week in winter we were treated to six nights of this spectacle.

    Hotel and igloo village Kakslauttanen, 30 minute transfer from lvalo airport.
