The total eclipse of 2015 was predicted to be a good one, with totality lasting longer than many due to the Moon being at perihelion at the time. However it was only making landfall on the Faroe Islands and Svarlbard. So you could travel to Svarlbard like Tim did, or you could watch the webcast in the warm comfort of your own home and play cards - like we did.
The Faroe Islands were clouded out, but fortunately the skies over Svarlbard were clear and the was a great stream coming from the local news station. We panicked a couple of times as the feed seemed to get overloaded and lag, but it cleared up in time and we got to see it all.
