What To Expect

Snaefellsjokull National Park & Glacier

Iceland´s western coastline is the place to be on August 12th 2026 - this will be first time since 1954 that the path of a total solar eclipse will center over Iceland.Our expert guides will ensure that you will witness this seminal event in the best possible location. This will of course be dictated by cloud coverage on the day - our hope is that Snæfellsnes will enjoy clear skies, but we may need to pivot to other areas such as Reykjanes or even the west-fjords.
