You've still got time to see what Nasa predicts will be the best display of the Northern Lights for 50 years (this winter), and Iceland is perfectly positioned to watch the show.
Wrapped in a blanket of snowy wilderness, Hotel Ranga is blissfully remote, with Mount Hekla volcano to one side and the Eystri-Ranga river on the other.
THE TOP 100 HONEYMOON DESTINATIONS
Inside, the 51 rooms include six 'world pavilions', decorated to represent continents (Aboriginal art for Australia, a cowhide-strewn cabin for North America), while the rest are simpler, cosy and wood-clad.
Relax in one of the hotel's outdoor hot tubs or take a trip to explore the Golden Circle, with its Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot springs, or the Vatnajökull glacier.
Back in the warmth of the hotel, enjoy the creative cuisine (make sure you try puffin or reindeer). With the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows, you won't have to worry about missing the aurora while you tuck in.
WOW FACTOR: The dramatic displays of nature. Take a helicopter ride up the active Mount Hekla, roam across hot-spring-studded landscapes and see vast glaciers.
FLIGHT TIME: 3 hours
WHEN TO GO: Autumn, Winter
GO: Scott Dunn (www.scottdunn.com) offers four nights from £950 per person. Includes flights and transfers.

If staying in a log cabin in a snowy wilderness is your idea of heaven, you'll love the ultra-romantic Hotel Rangá.
Nestled between the Eystri-Rangá river and Hekla volcano, Rangá
is in one of the best places to see the Northern Lights.
This is the perfect base from which to explore the famed Golden
Circle - an area that includes the Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir
hot springs.
Many rooms have their own Jacuzzis with stunning views, but the
Rangá also has three hot tubs, where you can lie back and look at
the night sky.
The food is unforgettable, too - be sure to try the locally smoked
puffin!
Wow factor: The staff wake you up to see the Northern Lights,
should they decide to make an appearance.
Go: Doubles from £160 (hotelranga.is). Icelandair
(icelandair.co.uk) flies to Reykjavik from £231 return.
