Shadow Map: Scoresby Sund

There’s little to concern a ship-based observer in Scoresby Sund regarding line-of-sight to the eclipsed sun, other than the potential for clouds.

However, anyone venturing onto land should pay attention: there will be numerous pockets of shadow in the landscape that could block the view.

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