The inspirational Northern Lights can provide a half-term trip with a difference and deliver an unforgettable experience for travellers of all ages.
Fully-vaccinated UK tourists can book a break to witness one of the seven natural wonders of the world and now is a good time to snap up a money-saving deal with national flag carrier Icelandair.
As part of the celebrations to welcome the start of the Northern Lights season, Icelandair is offering a special package to UK travellers that want to visit the land of fire and ice and witness this amazing natural beauty.
Holidaymakers can get a fantastic deal including return flights (from London or Manchester to Reykjavik) full luggage allowance, a three-night B&B stay at the Hotel Klettur with breakfast and welcome drink and a Northern Lights tour from just £275 per person.
The deal is applicable on trips made between October 1 and March 25.
Iceland's winter weather can sometimes pose a challenge, but the temperature doesn't drop as low as in many parts of Europe, often hovering around 0C.
There's not a lot of daylight for exploring in winter (especially in December and January, with just four to seven hours of light), but the abundant dark skies bring a greater chance of viewing aurora.
You need dark, clear skies to see the northern lights, so October to March is ideal - but tourists might get lucky with colour filling the skies anytime from late August to April.
Skiing is also possible from around December to April-May, depending on conditions, but when daylight increases from February is usually best – and Easter skiing is popular with locals.
