About the Igloos

• Our igloos are rebuilt every December, so they are slightly different each year.
• Igloos are allocated based on the number of people in your party.

Facilities

• A warm area (the basecamp) is located next to the igloos. Guests who feel cold may sleep on sofas/beds inside.
• Please note: There is no toilet or shower inside the igloos. A bathroom and one shower are available at the basecamp.
• Luggage is stored in the basecamp common areas. Each igloo has access to a locked safety box (inside the basecamp) for valuables and electronics.

Basecamp Restaurant & Dining
