Event

To experience greatest totality, you might get a lucky break in the clouds in Greenland or Iceland... but unlikely according to Eclipsophile: "Two-thirds of the Moon's shadow path falls over water and even a casual glance at Figure 1 shows that ship-borne viewing sites will be challenged to find good weather. Instead, the best observing sites are on land or close to land and of these, Spain and Mallorca are the most promising."
