I love finding sites that give me a reason to procrastinate, at the same time encouraging me to keep up on the world design community. Everyone should spend at least 1 hour of your day on this site even though I have just spend about 3… oops
The Igloo Village in Kakslauttanen, Finland is like the Rolls-Royce of ice hotels. Each igloo is equipped with glass that allows you to gaze at the northern lights and millions of stars, all while relaxing comfortably in your warm room.
The glass igloo is a a marvel of modern technology, which is based on a groundbreaking idea and years of research and development. Built from special thermal glass, the view stays clear even when the temperature outside drops to under -30°C. Every igloo is equipped with a toilet and luxury beds and, every evening, a hot sauna and a refreshing ice hole await you.
In addition to the glass igloos, the resort features snow igloos, a snow restaurant, an ice gallery with ice sculptures, and a snow chapel for those we want to tie the knot. In total there are 20 glass igloos and 60 beds in the snow igloos, and the snow restaurant provides seating for 50-150 people. Igloo Village starts its season each year between December and January, depending on the weather conditions, and stays open until the end of April.

Thanks for the shout out to the people at French Paper.
Thanks Justin for sending this over from across the Atlantic. Now i just need to flatten it and frame it.
Im glad typographers that create excellent fonts have a new avenue to be discovered. In Fontseeks own words “Great type design remains hidden in the jungle if it isn’t promoted by a type foundry. Fontseek features these hidden treasures. It links you to the designer’s website by clicking on the specimen, where you will find purchasing information or how to get in touch directly.”
