Shadow Map: Scoresby Sund

There is little for an observer aboard a ship in Scoresby Sund to be concerned about regarding line of sight to the eclipsed sun, other than the potential for clouds.

However, anyone going ashore should take care: there will be numerous pockets of shadow across the landscape that could obstruct the view.

Be sure to check out the lunar-limb aware simulation of the eclipse for this location as well.
