A “Ring of Fire” annular solar eclipse soars overhead as two intrepid ice climbers pause atop the mighty Glacier Leones on October 2nd, 2024. Meanwhile winds whipped across the ridgeline, creating great plumes of snow that burned in the sun's rays.

This image strives to capture the delicate balance between the sun's power, survival of our glaciers and the people that depend on them.
