The zone of the annularity begins at sunrise in the Pacific and moves in a north-westerly direction to the Aleutian Islands with the islands of Unalaska and Unimak as well as over the further US state of Alaska with the city of Anchorage . In the following, the Canadian territories Yukon and Nunavut are crossed. In the northern continuation of Baffin Bay , Smithsund , which is more frequently used by cruise ships in summer, the zone reaches its northernmost point and reaches Greenland . Without any further land contact, the North Atlantic is crossed and the coast of Norway reached near Mo i Rana . In Sweden , the cities of Umeå , Sundsvall and Gävle are within the annular zone, but Uppsala and Stockholm are outside. The south-west of Finland experiences the solar eclipse when the sun is low, as does all of Estonia , large parts of Latvia and north-east Lithuania . Belarus and Russia are reached at sunset .
