As we bask in our long summer days filled with sunshine and light, spare a thought for the residents of Reykjavik, who currently get less than five hours of daylight each day.
Despite the darkness, winter is a tempting time to visit the Earth s northernmost capital city. With the colourful buildings of the city blanketed in snow, it s the best time of the year to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
And while this city basically on the other side of the planet is out of reach while travel restrictions remain, it s the perfect destination for a spot of mind travel.
