Eclipse solar total recorre Europa, atrae multitudes y dinamiza el turismo

Fotógrafos capturaron imágenes mientras un eclipse solar total se observaba en partes de la Europa continental el 12 de agosto, el primero en décadas, informó Euronews. El eclipse, que comenzó en los fiordos del oeste de Islandia el miércoles, atrajo a visitantes pese a los pronósticos de nubes y la limitada infraestructura, según Newser. La franja de totalidad cruzó Islandia, Groenlandia y el norte de España, cubriendo hasta el 40 % del territorio español, informó The New York Times, lo que provocó un aumento de viajeros y preparativos de seguridad. Sin embargo, la nubosidad amenazó la visibilidad en varios lugares, señaló The New York Times.

En España, alrededor de un millón de personas se reunieron para observar la breve fase total, y las autoridades implementaron amplias medidas de seguridad, informó AP. El evento impulsó la economía local, con un notable aumento del turismo y de las ventas de equipos de observación, según CNBC. Fotógrafos de National Geographic documentaron el eclipse, destacando que fue el primer eclipse total sobre la España continental en más de un siglo.
