Four calm days, built around three nights with a chance of northern lights. The Golden Circle first, with a night at Hótel Rangá and its observatory.

• A timetable for every day — when to leave, how long at each stop, when you arrive
• Tap-to-navigate links and the Google Map
• My notes on every stop, where to sleep and eat, costs and a packing list
• Winter driving and northern lights — roads, wind, daylight
