Amazing, astounding, magical, beautiful. "We're all friends today." That's how the people of Reykjavík described their experience of the solar eclipse this morning. The weather conditions were outstanding with clear blue skies. 

Morgunblaðið/ Mbl.is  photographers were all over the city taking photos of the event, and people sent plenty of great photos to us which we've published and are very grateful for.
