Skuggamyndum í Sólmyrkva 2026 - Shadows during Solar Eclipse 2026

This shadow map illustrates terrain-induced shadows at 17:45 on August 12th, 2026. The solar eclipse will not be visible within the shaded areas. Shadow coverage may vary depending on the simulation resolution and the specific time.

Skuggakortið sýnir staði þar sem skuggar falla klukkan 17:45 þann 12. ágúst 2026. Sólmyrkvinn mun ekki sjást á þeim svæðum sem eru í skugga. Skuggasvæðin geta verið breytileg vegna upplausnar hæðarkortsins og á öðrum tímum.

Date (Creation): 2024-12-17

Purpose: EN

Inform the public about the shadowed areas during the solar eclipse.

Upplýsingamiðlun til almennings þess efnis hvar sólmyrkvinn sést ekki.

Statement: EN

This map has been created using the UMEP Solar Radiation - Shadow Map plugin in QGIS. IslandsDEM with a resolution of 2x2m has been used. Exact simulation time is 12.08.2026 - 17:45 GMT

IS

Skuggarnir miðast við tímann 17:45 þann 12. ágúst 2026.

Kortið var búið til með því að nota UMEP Solar Radiation - Shadow Map viðbótina í QGIS. Grunngögn sem voru notuð eru ÍslandsDEM hæðarlíkan með 2x2 m upplausn.
