This video of March 20, 2015 total solar eclipse was made by eclipse-chaser Nick James who was in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, for the event.
"The weather was perfect and the corona was amazing in a very transparent deep blue sky," James said.
"There were interesting prominences and dramatic shadow bands at second and third contact. The temperature dropped to below -20C at totality which was a challenge for the cameras and me."
