Thanks to Sarah Palin, good old fashioned Alaska livin’ is all the rage these days. But before you make your way up to the state’s snowy tundra for a moose hunt, you might want to invest in this modern equivalent to the classic igloo. For the past 25 years, Icewall One’s Igloo Satellite Cabin has been used by scientists to withstand harsh conditions across the globe.

Back in 1982, designer Malcolm Wallhead created the round, alien-like pod for the Australian Antarctic Division. The fiberglass construction and polyurethane insulation can protect you not only from polar ice caps, but the searing heat from tropical climates as well. Multiple igloos can be linked together via tunnels, making a perfect haven for your whole team. See more photos below…
