The 12 August 2026 eclipse in Greenland

The Moon's shadow enters Greenland from the north and sweeps down the island for a good half hour, across the ice sheet and the Northeast Greenland National Park. After Iceland and Spain, it is the only inhabited land the path of totality touches that day.

And even so, not one of Greenland's 72 localities is inside the path. The closest is Ittoqqortoormiit (328 inhabitants), with 99.7% of the Sun covered: the deepest partial on this whole site, and still a partial.

The only two inhabited spots that do see totality are Danish stations in the Northeast Greenland National Park. All 78 places are computed here with the same ephemeris engine as the rest of the site.

The two spots in Greenland inside the path

With the Sun between 18.7° and 36.9° above the horizon, Greenland is the stretch of the path where the eclipse happens highest (in Spain it runs from 12° down to grazing the sea).

Every place, deepest eclipse first
