AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoSkywatching in Iceland: A total solar eclipse is sweeping Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain today (Aug. 12), with the Moon fully covering the Sun along a narrow path and a deep partial eclipse visible across much of Europe; Reykjavík is expected to see totality around 5:48pm local time, while the UK and Ireland get roughly 90–96% coverage. Tourism & prices: Eclipse demand is already pushing up costs, with Reykjavík hotel rates reported above $1,000 a night and Airbnb prices also jumping as visitors flood western Iceland. Safety first: Authorities and experts stress certified eclipse glasses only—never regular sunglasses or direct viewing. Science mission: NASA is sending a high-altitude WB-57 jet over Iceland to study the Sun’s corona during totality. Geopolitics: The US and allies urged countries to give at least 24 hours’ advance notice of ballistic missile and space-launch tests, including Iceland among the signatories.
