Igloo Bed and Breakfast
Hotel and Igloo Village Kakslauttanen is a resort north of the Arctic Circle in Finland that, in addition to luxury log cabins, offers guests glass-topped igloos during the winter months. The igloos are constructed of a temperature resistant glass that keeps them comfortable in temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit. The resort also offers a “Honeymoon Turf Chamber” and old-fashioned snow igloos.

They vowed to "occupy Wall Street" and to "bring justice to the bankers", but the New York police thwarted their efforts temporarily, locking down the symbolic street with barricades and checkpoints.People protest during the 'Occupy Wall Street' rally at Bowling Green Plaza on 17 September.
