Ring Of Fire and Ice

A “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse reaches annularity as two ice climbers summit the Glacier Leones. A drone illuminates the ice’s textures and colours, battling eclipse winds that throw plumes of snow into the sun’s rays. The foreground ice is strewn with rocky debris, left by a landslide upstream.
