The Faroe Islands experienced a rare natural phenomenon on Friday, as the moon obscured the sun, and darkness blanketed the region for more than two minutes.

The nation — semi-autonomous under Denmark — was one of two places that fell in the eclipse's umbra, the darkest part of the moon's shadow. The other was the Norwegian island of Svalbard.
