Such a sophisticated website with great details. Good luck on watching. I think, rest of folks in other parts of the word will be tuning in virtually.

In Hofn right now, taking the ring road.

We have a hotel in þingeyri on eclipse day. We're at 1min50s at our hotel.

Very cool! Just remember the one truth about solar eclipses: total or nothing.

While I don't want to dismiss partial eclipses entirely, please don't think that partial eclipses are "almost the same" as total eclipses. One is a curiosity, the other is a memorable life event.
