Total Solar Eclipse Swept Across Arctic and Iceland | Wellington News
from Wellington News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A total solar eclipse swept across the Arctic, Greenland, and Iceland, plunging parts of Europe into temporary darkness—a rare spectacle last seen in Reykjavik over 600 years ago. Spain, starved for such events after a century, saw massive crowds, including travelers from Peru and locals drawn by science and art, as special glasses sold out and skies cleared for dramatic views. Weather woes threatened Iceland’s show, while Spain enjoyed clear skies but battled heat and wildfires—boosting tourism and local economies. With another total eclipse set for southern Spain and North Africa in 2027 and an annular “ring of fire” eclipse coming to the Iberian Peninsula in 2028, skywatchers won’t have to wait long for the next cosmic encore.
