AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Total Solar Eclipse Countdown: Iceland is gearing up for the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse, with the Moon’s shadow sweeping across western Iceland and visitors expected to flood in—especially around Snæfellsnes and the Reykjanes Peninsula, where hotels and rentals are already fully booked. Tourism Pressure: In Suðurnes, officials say every hotel room and rental car was booked months ago, and Reykjanesbær has published exact eclipse timing for locals and guests. Science in the Sky: A Czech team has set up eclipse photo gear at five sites, including two in Iceland’s west, with only about two minutes of totality for key shots. NASA Above the Clouds: NASA will fly a WB-57 research aircraft from Keflavík to observe from high altitude in case Iceland’s weather turns cloudy. Local Culture & Events: Björk’s echolalia eclipse festival is set to bring an eclipse rave to Reykjavík, mixing international and Iceland-based electronic artists. Greenland Mining Update: Amaroq begins its 2026 resource drilling at the Nanoq gold project in South Greenland, aiming to build toward a potential maiden resource estimate later this year. Archaeology: Underwater surveys at Siglufjörður found nine shipwrecks, including the former Danish warship Tordenskjold, plus traces linked to a major 1919 avalanche. Tech & AI: Fenris Creations (EVE Online) hires former Icelandic minister Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir to lead AI partnerships for a new research initiative tied to EVE Frontier.
