    We were able to catch a few glimpses at about 30-35% but before it got even close to full we couldn't see anything for the storms rolling in. It was very creepy though how dark it got. All was not lost as I was able to experience how the darkness rolled in. And the actual eclipse part was much as I remembered it as a kid in grade school in the 70s. Hopefully in another 7 years I will be able to travel to view the totality (and it won't be cloudy).

    I'm eying 2026 in Iceland. August, so possibility of eclipse and northern lights in one trip 🙂
    That, or 2030 when the path of totality goes 270km south of Johannesburg.

    I saw the full eclipse in 2002, spectacular!

    Northern lights are truly amazing. We could see them occasionally when I lived in Seattle but the year I lived in Alaska we got to see them quite frequently. I like the idea of Iceland in 2026. Would really like to visit there someday anyway so why not do it during a great time!!!
