    Wow, enjoy!!! Hornstrandir is unbelievably gorgeous and looks like you’re in Middle Earth. We go in winter pretty exclusively so Hornstrandir hasn’t been an option for us, but it’s a very committed trip to be sure. Be safe and have the very best time, I’m jealous!

    This is my plan too. Had to work for this one.

    Got stuck in Reykjavik because of airline delays back in September last year coming back from another backpacking trip in Scotland. We ended up staying the night and had a blast with some locals downtown. We've been looking for an excuse to go back and the eclipse seems perfect. I'm worried with how busy the ferry businesses will be but we're gonna make the effort.

    There's a total solar eclipse in Iceland in August 2026, considering it?

    The path of totality goes across Hornstrandir one of Iceland's most remote national parks. You can only get to it by boat. In the early stages of planning a trip there in 2026 with some backpacking friends.

    could all the rain have affected the fault

    Wasn’t this the theory for the quake that happened in California during Tropical Storm Hilary?

    The AMOC shutting down abruptly would wildly disrupt monsoon cycles and lead to major agricultural failure. Whatever the actual acute temperature impacts on North America (lesser) and Europe (greater), it would be a catastrophe for many other reasons. 

    There was a concerning paper last year stating collapse could occur between 2025 and 2090 which is considerably sped up from timelines running on older data. Doesn’t mean they’re inherently correct, but it’s concerning (IMHO). 

    Yeah sooner rather than later is happening:
