Reykjavík, Iceland in $2100s-$2300s RT

Iceland really has mastered the art of winter.

While the folks back home are stepping in slush puddles, you'll be warm in your new woolen lopapeysa, sipping freshly ground Nordic coffee. Shorter days mean Aurora wakes up early, so you can watch her dance across the water from your cozy cottage. 

You can still disappear into that rugged scenery, too – use your daylight to crawl across glaciers and through glimmery blue ice tunnels, then warm back up with a hot spring as the stars come out.

And yes, of course, they get REALLY into the Christmas season here. Just watch out for the Yule Lads, lest your sausages get stolen and your doorways get sniffed.
