Travelers seeking complete isolation amid mountains and Arctic silence can now book a truly unique stay — a floating glacier cabin in East Greenland, described by BBC as “one of the world’s boldest Airbnbs.” The price tag is equally extraordinary.
The hexagonal cabin floats on a platform anchored in a calm fjord, secured between cliffs with thick ropes. A glass ceiling allows guests to admire the endless northern sky and stars. Guests can hike glaciers, explore ice caves, go fishing, and, during the season, watch the aurora borealis “in absolute silence.”
This place is so remote that BBC reporter Laura Hall relied solely on a satellite phone — there is no regular mobile signal. Inside, the cabin has a small stove, a sink, a composting toilet, and a full set of kitchen basics. There is no shower — instead, visitors can dip into the icy Arctic water.
A built-in fishing hole next to the bed lets guests catch fish without even getting up. A small terrace overlooks the dramatic fjord landscape.
The nearest settlement is Sermiligaaq (population 209). The next one is almost 800 km away.
A single night costs $979, with the nearest available booking on July 2–3. The only review so far is glowing: “An amazing place — the cabin gently rocked on the waves, and the views were stunning.”
