Rare Total Eclipse to Pass Over Iceland's Blue Lagoon, But Clouds May Block the View

On 12 August 2026, a total solar eclipse — when the Moon completely covers the Sun — will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, darkening the sky for up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds. The eclipse passes directly over Iceland's Blue Lagoon. But forecasters expect clouds, light rain, and fog, which may block visitors from seeing it.
