Parts of Europe are set to experience a total solar eclipse on Wednesday, marking the first such event in the region for over 25 years. The moon will pass in front of the sun, casting a shadow and temporarily plunging areas into daytime darkness.
The path of the total eclipse will begin at the tip of Siberia, curve across the Arctic Ocean, and then cross parts of Greenland and Iceland. It will continue across the northern Atlantic Ocean before reaching northern Spain and concluding in the Mediterranean. Other parts of Europe will observe a partial eclipse.
For some, like Mark Griffiths, who has driven from Cheshire to Galicia, Spain, to record the event, chasing eclipses has become a passion. Samantha Phillips-Brown and her husband Gregory have travelled to Iceland, while Andrew Wills is heading to Majorca with his family, having witnessed Europe's last total solar eclipse in 1999.
