Mark your calendars (if you haven’t already), because 12 August is set to see a total solar eclipse across parts of Greenland, Iceland and Spain.
Cities and towns in the path of totality will be plunged into darkness for up to two minutes, and this solar spectacle is well worth travelling for.
Wondering where to go? Here are some of the events being planned for the occasion, and our guide on how to pick your spot for the eclipse if you want to enjoy it on your own terms.
The world’s most famous Icelander, Björk, will be celebrating the eclipse by hosting a rave in Víðistaðatún, Hafnarfjörður, which is just outside of the capital Reykjavík.
Totality will last around one minute and four seconds, and tickets to the event, dubbed “Echolalia”, include a pair of custom made eclipse glasses, so you don’t have to worry about finding specs with the right… specs.
