This partial solar eclipse will be mainly visible from Russia and in particular northeastern Siberia in order to get a meaningful magnitude. It occurs about six months later than the previous partial with a similar magnitude, but this time it will be from the Pole of Cold in the middle of the Siberian winter. This is a unique opportunity for some extreme adventure.
After a successful observation of the preceeding partial from Yakutsk in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), I went back to Yakutia to view this eclipse from the Pole of Cold under temperatures well below -50°C (-60F).
You can use this solar eclipse calculator to compute the local circumstances of the eclipse. A time exposure calculator is there to help you choose your camera settings.
