This year, a total solar eclipse will be visible in West Iceland, with totality occurring at around 5:45pm on August 12. It will be the first total solar eclipse seen in Iceland since 1433 — nearly six centuries ago — and the next one won’t take place until 2196.
For centuries, eclipses have held a mythical place in folklore, ritual, and music. To mark this rare and momentous event, Árstíðir will be performing a special eclipse concert in Reykjavík on the night before, August 11.
