The Arctic Dome Himmelhiet
Linda Øverli Nilsen
In the Arctic Dome, “Himmelhiet”, you can fall asleep to the sound of waves washing the rocky shore below, and the midnight sun is your night-light! This comfortable accommodation is right on the sea. You have a great view of the seaborne approach to Ylvingen harbour and the open sea all the way to the horizon.

Glamping by the sea
Would you like something more luxurious? We also offer “glamping”, which is short for “glamorous camping” – in our case in spacious special tents. These enjoy a stunning 360-degree view of the sea and the surrounding scenery of Vega, which is all the more magical when it is bathed in the glow of the midnight sun. Each “glamping” tent has comfortable beds for three people, with luxurious duvets and pillows.
