The gracious staff is on hand at every turn to help make your stay unforgettable. It’s an amazing experience even when the aurora isn’t out, as you can witness a dazzling sky full of stars. The concave-shaped windows (inspired by helicopter windows) are clearer than glass, have no reflection, and were created specifically to appreciate the night sky. Lie back and watch Mother Nature’s show through your unique curved-dome window that stretches a full 16 feet across the ceiling. While many properties are set up facing south (to take advantage of the sun), these fiberglass igloos face northeast-the optimal viewing direction for the aurora. Located on a quiet ridgeline outside of Fairbanks, the Borealis Basecamp offers 20 elegant igloos and a new village with 5 aurora-viewing cubes, including a family suite custom-designed and specifically positioned to maximize your viewing of the Northern Lights.Įach igloo has cozy furnishings, a private bath, and breakfast bar. It’s the famous Northern Lights, and experiencing this natural phenomenon from Borealis Basecamp is one of the most spectacular, unique ways to do it.

From your cozy “igloo” or "cube" in northern Alaska, you gaze up through the window at a sky that dances with morphing, mystical colors.
