Added to my bucket list (which I actually do use for planning breaks and special holidays!)

I'd like to see it, but I don't see the point of sleeping there. It's dark and you're sleeping, just like everywhere else.

I wouldn't be able to sleep there anyway, not with that Iva Davies pop music echoing around inside my head.

I think I'd feel a little clasutrophobic in there. It's a little bit too cavelike for comfort. And I'd be very aware that I was sleeping under what is, to all intents and purposes a paused avalanche...
Silly I know. Looks gorgeous though!

probably not a polar bear skin, looks more like sheepskin to me.
I've overnighted in an igloo. It's surprisingly warm. Let's face it, snow is a magnificent insulator. It's crucial to build it so there's a cold sink. You need to sleep on a shelf with a lower space below the sleeping area where the coldest air will collect. It's also important to leave a hole in the top to let the warm air escape, or you'll get condensation and maybe drips. Of course, you need an insulating pad because the snow's cold, but that's easy. the one in the pictures is HUGE, the one I slept in was much smaller. Making them is also warm work I can tell you.

exactly. and the diesel fuel the heavy machinery uses to pile up the 3000 tons of snow.

What's. The. Point?
Ooooh, it's WARM. Yeah, so's a hotel, and I get room service and I can sleep nude. I can take a pee in the middle of the night without freezing my pretty little patootie off. It's as pointless as a Jimmy John's restaurant. (And I've come full circle. My work here is done.) |

It feels like the day I realized that taking a cruise meant being in a boat in the middle of the ocean all alone and vulnerable . . .
