Partial really is "kinda neat." The light level noticeably reduces a bit, like a very big cloud, and all the little dapples on the ground turn crescent shaped. More eerie than mind-blowing though. We got a minute of totality in 2024, which was very, very cool.

If you're in Iceland then you're actually in luck, the path of totality does cross over the west of the country. Wikipedia has helpful details of timings and places https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2026#Eclipse_timing
