The 2026 Total Eclipse

On August 12, 2026, the moon will pass directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow over Iceland and creating a total solar eclipse. This rare event occurs when the sun's corona, a halo of plasma, becomes visible around the moon, offering a spectacular and mesmerizing display. The total eclipse will last for approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds, providing a breathtaking view that will be etched in your memory forever.
