Catch the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse: Best Views in Iceland and Spain

The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse will be best viewed from western Iceland (notably Látrabjarg) or northern Spain, where the path of totality covers more land and the weather is typically warmer; other viable spots include portions of Portugal, Russia, and Greenland, though they’re remote. North America will see only a partial eclipse, with visibility varying by location. For eye safety, look directly at the Sun only during totality using certified eclipse glasses or solar viewers, or use indirect viewing methods like a pinhole projector for the rest of the event.
