Details:
Despite the pandemic, many people traveled to today's part of totality to see the spectacular total solar eclipse over Antarctica. Some were lucky to get on the "sixth continent", others traveled via ship cruise in the Weddell Sea and around, the third group of eclipse chasers chose eclipse flight around 41000 feet above the ground, watching the narrow shadow and amazingly colored sky during the totality. This was also my case, traveling in one of two separate flights (the second one is on the image by the dip of the wing), parallelly floating the air in the shadow. Totality took about 2 minutes, bright Mercury and Antares were visible around the eclipsed sun. Amazing and unique was the eclipse actually occurred in the night (by 4 am local time) but over summer southern polar circle. What a spectacular and dramatic view! Canon 6D, Samyang 24mm, f3.5, ISO 400.
