Eclipsed Solar Disc

Third Contact Svalbard 2015

The third contact of the Total Solar Eclipse of March 20, 2015. This was recorded from Isfjord radio station on Spitzbergen Island, Svalbard. This is a still taken from the video on yesterday's post. The digital recording does not do the experience of seeing the eclipse justice. It is far more stunning to be present to witness the eclipse and especially so at this remarkable location.

Svalbard Total Solar Eclipse


This video shows a replay of the total solar eclipse on Svalbard, Friday March 20, 2015. The video was recorded with a 200mm lens and Canon 60D DSLR on a fixed tripod. It was taken from the Isfjord radio station south west of Longyearbyen, almost on the centre line of the eclipse. I was one of a lucky few who took a Basecamp Explorer expedition trip to Isfjord to see the eclipse.
