Episode 906 - ICELAND'S TOTAL ECLIPSE

Today on RÚV English Radio - we're a couple of hours away...

At 5.43pm and 28 seconds, the Moon's umbra first touches Iceland in Hornstrandir.

Here's how things are looking at 3pm as we wait, and hope for some breaks in the cloud. You'll also hear a very special piece of music created for another famous eclipse back in 1999, composed by Judy Whitlock. (https://www.judywhitlock.com/)
