On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will pass southwards through mountainous Northeast Greenland. At 16:37 in the afternoon, the shadow of the moon will reach the dramatic and isolated Blosseville Coast in East Greenland. Ship is anchored close to shore at the exact centre of the total eclipse. Sheltered from the ocean, our calm landing beach will provide unobstructed view towards the western sky. Totality will last for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. ---Chart/Diagram Description: * **Type:** Sequence of images showing the phases of a solar eclipse. * **Main Elements:** * A series of circular or crescent shapes against a black background. * The central image shows a completely black circle surrounded by a bright, diffuse corona. * Images to the left and right show the sun appearing as a crescent, with varying amounts of the disk obscured. The crescent shapes are golden/orange in color. * The sequence progresses from a thin crescent on the far left, through increasingly larger crescents, to the total eclipse in the center, and then reverses, showing increasingly larger crescents again on the right, suggesting the progression and regression of the eclipse. * The shape obscuring the sun appears to be a dark circle moving across the sun's disk. * The bright corona is visible only during the total eclipse phase in the center. * **Relative Position and Direction:** The images are arranged horizontally, depicting the progression of the eclipse from left to right and then back. The darkest, central image represents totality. The crescents on the left show the moon covering the sun from one side, reaching maximum coverage in the center, and then the crescents on the right show the moon moving away from the sun's disk. **Chart/Diagram Description:** * **Type:** Geographical map showing parts of Greenland and Iceland with an overlay of a route and a shaded path. * **Main Elements:** * **Landmasses:** Greenland (colored greyish-blue) and Iceland (colored greyish-blue) are depicted. * **Water Bodies:** Surrounding seas and fjords are shown in white. * **Text Labels:** "GREENLAND" is labeled across the landmass of Greenland. "ICELAND" is labeled across the landmass of Iceland. * **Points:** Several locations are marked with black circles and labeled: * Kangerlussuaq (Greenland) * Evigheds Fjord (Greenland) * Nuuk (Greenland) * Skjoldungen (Greenland) * Paamiut (Greenland) - Partially visible label 'miut' and part of 'Paa' at the bottom left corner. Based on the full image context not provided but implied by the partial text, this location is likely Paamiut. * Sasslarsuk (Greenland) - Partially visible label 'asslarsuk' and part of 'S' at the bottom left corner. Based on the full image context not provided but implied by the partial text, this location is likely Sasslarsuk. * Tasermiut (Greenland) * Aappilattoq (Greenland) * Prince Christian Sound (Greenland) - This labels a body of water with points nearby. * Tasiilaq (Greenland) * An unnamed point on the eastern coast of Greenland labeled "Eclipse observation p..." (presumably "point"). * Reykjavik (Iceland) * **Lines:** A black curved line with arrowheads indicates a route connecting Kangerlussuaq, Evigheds Fjord, Nuuk, Skjoldungen, Tasiilaq, the Eclipse observation point, and Reykjavik, with detours along the southern coast of Greenland visiting locations like Sasslarsuk, Tasermiut, Aappilattoq, and navigating Prince Christian Sound. The line shows direction of travel from west/southwest Greenland towards eastern Greenland and then to Iceland. * **Shaded Area:** A broad, curved, reddish-orange band is overlaid on the map, extending from eastern Greenland towards Iceland. This band is labeled "Path of total eclipse". **Textual Information:** * GREENLAND * ICELAND * Kangerlussuaq * Evigheds Fjord * Nuuk * Skjoldungen * [Paamiut] (Partially visible) * [Sasslarsuk] (Partially visible) * Tasermiut * Aappilattoq * Prince Christian Sound * Tasiilaq * Eclipse observation p...
