The total solar eclipse in Reykjavík, Iceland, on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, begins locally in the late afternoon. In Eastern Standard Time (EST) or Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), the event happens earlier in the day. Because Iceland observes Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) year-round and the eclipse occurs in August, the United States is in daylight saving time, meaning the conversion is to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (UTC-4), which is 4 hours behind Reykjavík. Here are the eclipse times converted to the Eastern time zone: Partial Eclipse Begins: 12:47 PM EDT (4:47 PM local Reykjavík time)Totality Begins: 1:48 PM EDT (5:48 PM local Reykjavík time)Totality Duration: Roughly 1 minute (ends around 1:49 PM EDT)Partial Eclipse Ends: 2:47 PM EDT (6:47 PM local Reykjavík time)
(Note: If you are calculating for standard EST, subtract 5 hours from the local Reykjavík time, making totality happen at 12:48 PM EST).
