Isbreen – The Glacier

At the northernmost tip of the European landmass, the Øksfjordjøkelen glacier calves 2,625 feet down into the freezing water. Across the fjord, the curves of five geodesic igloos rise discreetly from the boreal forest. Spacious, stylish, and with spectacular views through panoramic windows, these elegant domes offer serenity and comfort, a hideaway in the untouched Arctic wilderness.
Isbreen The Glacier is a secluded gem far above the Arctic Circle, where the northern lights graze the skies close to 200 nights per year!

Igloos

Our five luxurious and spacious igloos are all equipped with modern, ensuite bathrooms, a private jacuzzi on the terrace and underfloor heating, ensuring that you will shed your layers in comfort even when the mercury plunges below zero; the glow and crackle of a wood burning stove adds a touch of traditional winter comfort. The interiors are designed in pure, elemental colors with furnishings that flow together with the dramatic polar landscape outside.

The main building holds the property’s kitchen and dining room, where you will be invited in for delectable meals while enjoying spectacular views of the fjord below.
