Iceland prepares for a rare total solar eclipse on 12 August, with tourists beginning to arrive ahead of the event. Multiple outlets report that large numbers of people are expected to travel to the country to view the eclipse.
Euronews says thousands of visitors are expected to head to Iceland’s western regions, framing the date as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Al Jazeera also highlights the influx of visitors, describing hundreds of tourists already rushing to the country to witness the sky phenomenon. While the reported visitor numbers differ, both accounts emphasize the same event and Iceland’s preparations as the main focus in the run-up to eclipse day.
