TOTALITY! eclipse travel adventures The Diamond Ring at C2, showing the Diamond Ring Effect in Svalbard, but unlike the usual images where most observers were, this image was taken by Deidre Sorensen in a rather isolated location away from most other eclipse chasers where the still of the location could best be appreciated. © Deidre Sorensen and used by permission /

The answer is very low since the Arctic is quite often overcast. But nothing stops a serious eclipse chaser, even if the chances of seeing the eclipse are slim. Today’s eclipse chasers manage to travel nearly anywhere in the world to some of the most remote locations, viewing eclipses from land (or ice), on the ocean, on mountain tops, or high in the air aboard a jet aircraft. So for the 2015 total eclipse with the weather conditions expected to be marginal from land, eclipse viewing took to all types of viewing locations; on the land, on the sea and in the skies. I am certain that everyone that traveled to the eclipse has a great story (mine will be shared shortly), whether it was clear, or cloudy. For this eclipse only two land areas lay under the path of totality, with the centerline passing over just one. If you were selecting eclipses that had a high probability of clear skies, you would not have picked the one of 20 March 2015.
