About Northern Lights Village

At midnight, a white arctic fox dashes up the fells, trailing its tail through the snow shooting flickers into the sky. The aurora borealis burst into flame over the Northern Lights Village. Only the protective glass dome separates you and your warm bed from the sky and you feel like you are floating in the infinite expanse of space.
