Supper in a traditional Sami ‘lavvo’ before retiring to your ice suite for the night – sleeping in a giant igloo at the top of the world.

From Lars Petter Øie’s place alongside the fjord you travel by snowmobile or RIB to the edge of the ice where your driver guide vanishes beneath the water, re-surfacing with a crab for you to take back to the quayside, cook & enjoy.
