What is Kelo-glass?
Kelo is a special type of pinewood found only in Lapland. In the extreme climate of the unforgiving north, the trees grow slowly and the wood hardens to produce a tough material that’s perfect for building. Kelo-Glass Igloos feature a private sauna, fireplace, kitchenette, and a bedroom with a stunning glass roof.
