I think I (well, Ozpk...) have found where I want to be for my 30th...

Northern Lights holidays
They have a special word for winter darkness in Lapland - Kaamos, the indigo blue of a star-studded sky, where just a feint hint of daylight glows below the horizon. This is the time to look for the amazing aurora borealis, which when conditions are right, lights up the night sky all across the arctic and sub-arctic region.

The aurora borealis, or northern lights, appears when solar wind particles collide with air molecules in the earth’s atmosphere, transferring their energy into light. Displays can vary in intensity – from a glowing curtain of greenish yellow lights, dancing in the distance to a spectacular, multi-coloured fusion stretching across the sky – but whatever one you’re lucky enough to have, will no doubt make you want to see more.
