The over winterer team at the Neumayer station witnessed the last solar eclipse of the year
In the late evening of November 23rd (climax 23:27 UTC) a partial solar eclipse was visible in the Antarctic. Equipped with sunglasses and digital cameras the over winterers met outside. Accompanied by the polar pilots, who had arrived on the same day, they were able to admire a solar eclipse of 94 percent. The moon shadow with a width of 500 kilometres reached the Antarctic coast, went over the Shackleton Shelf and Queen Maud Land before it left the earth surface after one hour. The moon shadow moved in an unusual way from east to west, because it fell behind the South pole, which was disposed to the sun.
