Sorry for my ignorance, but can someone please explain what I'm looking at here?

About five hours from now, the sections of Europe indicated on the map will experience a total solar eclipse, with other regions of the continent experiencing a partial one.

The map shows feeds to watch it.

Today there is a eclipse, the map shows where the eclipse will be. In the path of the eclipse, there are also a ton of live webcams, and this map shows those and let you preview the webcams. Does it make sense now?

Even more specifically, it will start off over Greenland, continue over western Iceland and then finish with the sunset in northeastern Spain and the Balearic Islands.

If you pan to the right, it shows that it actually starts in a bit of russia

That area (Taymyr Peninsula) looks crazy remote and inaccessible. It would be wild to be there, let alone experience an eclipse there. I think it might even be illegal to do so without a permit, though I'm also curious what enforcement looks like in an area so far from what we think of as normal infrastructure.

It’s like kik or twitch stream but for nerds (that’s us btw), the live stream is a bunch of live cameras in different cities/countries, these locations today will experience something called totality sun eclipse, it’s when the sun is totally covered, day turns to night, and you see a pretty yet scary ring in the sky instead, it lasts for minutes at best, and it’s a really cool thing to witness in person, but in case you can’t, at least you see it through someone’s lens in a live stream, like that site!
