Home sweet home

Follow the event from home. In most parts of western Iceland, it is possible to experience the eclipse from home or nearby surroundings. Residents in other regions will see a partial eclipse. Avoid unnecessary travel during the event.

Arrive early and stay longer

Those planning to travel to view the eclipse are encouraged to arrive early and stay longer. Traveling earlier in the day and delaying departure until after the eclipse ends will reduce traffic congestion and improve safety.

Be well prepared

Prepare well for your trip and familiarize yourself with the route and destination. Bring necessary medication, food, water, and appropriate clothing, and allow for longer travel times. Ensure you have enough fuel or battery charge for your car. Maintain hygiene and ensure food is stored safely.

Keep your eyes on the road

Drive carefully and avoid distractions like mobile phones. Keep your focus on the road, obey speed limits, and wear seatbelts.

Be patient

Be patient if temporary queues or delays occur. Follow instructions from authorities and emergency responders if challenging situations arise. Use official information channels for updates.
