Sleep under the stars in a luxury igloo at Levin Iglut Golden Crown

We understand the appeal of the beach. Between soft white sands and warm blue waters, it’s an ideal spot for forgetting the worries of the world. But drop the temperature 100 degrees (or so) and move many miles north, and you might be surprised by just how relaxed you can be in an alternate environment as well. That is, if you’re staying with Levin Iglut Golden Crown,  a company based in Lapland, Finland that is offering adventurers and romance seekers alike a pretty phenomenal experience.

As originally reported by Grind TV, this hotel doesn’t set you up in a standard room, but rather places its guests in a glass igloo. There, you’ll experience panoramic views of the aurora borealis (if you should be so lucky), or simply the star-studded sky (which is still spectacular at such northerly latitudes).

While the hotel initially launched with just four luxury igloos, there are now 24 such structures available to guests. There’s also the Northern Lights House, a lodge-like experience, and a restaurant aptly named the Aurora Sky.

Each of Levin Iglut’s igloos feature electrically heated anti-fog glass, a small kitchen, a shower and toilet, and a motorized bed whose position can be adjusted for optimal Northern Lights viewing. There’s also Wi-Fi (so you can post all about your nordic adventures on social media) and air conditioning (don’t ask us why).

Each of our igloos feature electrically heated non-fogging glass, air conditioning, a small kitchen, shower and toilet, a Wi-Fi connection and motorized beds, which you can adjust to the desired position for watching the northern lights or sleeping.

Two tiers of igloos are currently available — Premium and Superior. If you opt for the former, you’ll receive a “touch of luxury,” as these structures are located in a prime location with an obstructed view of the Lapland valley. Apparently, this kind of igloo is “especially popular with honeymooners.” Superior igloos, on the other hand, are better suited to families, with the added option of an extra bed for children under the age of 12.

Premium Igloos start at $472 a night, while Superior Igloos will cost $390 a night. So if you’re looking for an unconventional getaway, you may need to pay a visit to Levin Iglut in Finland.

Aventon goes all in on smart security and connectivity on Level 3 commuter e-bike
Aventon Level 3 right profile with Queen Mary in the background.

Aventon invited me to a pre-launch press briefing on its new Level.3 commuter e-bike in Long Beach, California. The Level.3 has several significant upgrades from the Level.2, including increased range and an adjustable suspension seat post, but the greatest upgrade is the Aventon Control Unit (ACU).

The ACU is a proprietary technology that incorporates 4G, Bluetooth connectivity, and GPS tracking. It enables a host of security, convenience, and personalization features. The Level 3 isn't the first Aventon model with the ACU; the Abound SR utility and cargo e-bike was the initial ACU-equipped e-bike.

Aventon launches Abound LR super-cargo smart e-bike
Aventon Abound LR left rear three-quarter view facing Long Beach harbor.

Aventon announced the Abound LR e-bike, a longer alternative to the Abound SR and original Aventon Abound cargo e-bike lineup. During a pre-launch press briefing for the Abound LR in February, Aventon characterized the Abound SR as an all-purpose utility and cargo bike and the Abound LR as a cargo carrier for families and a possible replacement for a second car.

The new long-rack LR version shares the short-rack SR's technical and ACU-based smart features and most physical details, except length and weight. The Abound LR is 8 pounds heavier and 7.1 inches longer than the SR. The two new Abound models are similar to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, two other vehicles built for the same purpose; one's just longer.
