90 days until it goes dark during the day – with the 2026 total solar eclipse

Dr John Mason, eclipse chaser extraordinaire, has been studying the astronomical event on 12 August, when a total solar eclipse will sweep down from Greenland to the northern half of Spain. While Scoresby Sound in Greenland has a high chance of clear skies due to a micro-climate, Dr Mason will be outside Burgos in northern Spain. The eclipse will be followed by the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.
