Only 12 people on Earth saw this 'ring-of-fire' eclipse. Here's how one improvised to capture a once-in-a-lifetime photo from Antarctica

A remote Antarctic research team witnessed a rare annular solar eclipse on February 17, 2026, from the Concordia Research Station. Only the team and Mirny Station experienced the event, but clouds obscured the view at Mirny. Andrea Traverso, stationed at Concordia, captured the eclipse through a window, showcasing the unique conditions of the Antarctic environment.
