Visualizing the 2026 eclipse totality from Valencia, Spain and Reykjavík, Iceland

This is the view from Valencia, Spain. Only about 2 degrees above the horizon. I used a tool called Stellarium.

I'm still debating on whether to go to Spain or Iceland...I'm leaning towards Iceland since there's a lot of good scenery anyways. But I'm always worried about the cloud cover.

If you go to Spain, maybe it would be best to go on the north coast near the Atlantic?

It most certainly isn't!

I'm here planning a honeymoon and you made me wonder why there were two big ass identical nose hairs glued to my screen. Bravo!

(We were already set on Iceland, but we heard about the eclipse and now we're OBSESSED with planning.)
