Wind cuts clean across the frozen lake as the glass walls of the igloo catch the pale light; inside, a low fire cooks a simple Lapland meal while the forest breathes outside. About 30 kilometres from Rovaniemi, the igloo restaurant sits on a shore cleared of driftwood and snow, its transparent dome turning the night sky into part of the room.
