The aerial photo above was taken over Svalbard , Norway, on my way to observe the total solar eclipse of March 20, 2015. This view shows North Isfjorden National Park in Svalbard -- an archipelago off the northern coast of Norway. Isfjorden, found on the western side of the island of Spitsbergen , is the second longest and perhaps the most impressive fjord in Svalbard. Sea ice is visible here in the foreground while in the mid-ground glacier ice (bright white) empties into the fjord. Glaciers cover approximately 60 percent of Svalbard. Photo taken on March 19, 2015.
