I was first intrigued by the idea of watching a solar eclipse late last year, after hearing a TED Talk from David Baron, who's been an #eclipsechaser for most of his life. He called himself an umbraphile, or someone who stands under the shadow of the moon (umbra) . The question in my head is, why would anyone go travel around the globe just for a solar eclipse? I've experienced watching a solar eclipse when I was a kid in Indonesia, using an eclipse-filtered glasses and I remembered it being an extraordinary event, but I wasnt sure the experience was worth a redo. Little did I know that standing under an umbra and a pen-umbra is totally different . Umbra shadow only happens during a total solar eclipse within a very specific area and timing on earth. When it happen, you can take off your filtered glasses and see a covered sun with your naked eyes. You then watch the day turns into night, stars appear in daytime, shadows become weird and cresent-shaped, foxes all-confused and come out of the bushes; everything happens in under 2 mins . So, would I travel 10,000 miles, 35+ hours, 8 flights again for that 2 minutes time? Abso-friggin-lutely . #nofilter . #solareclipse2019 #umbra #TedTalk #DavidBaron #andeseclipse #solareclipsechile #totalsolareclipse (at Vicuña, Chile) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzn1cO8Ay5aGIfHr925Gu71qfKsJV836oR72fc0/?igshid=11kor0u275tm0

What's inside the Eclipse Gllamping experience: actual beds, 18 hours campfire, a shared bamboo shower tent and trailer toilets. Not bad at all!💛 . . . #eclipsechile2019 #eclipsechaser #glampingchile #totalsolareclipse #andeseclipse (at Festival Andes Eclipses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BznxV0DAiJqGPDkzbZXb_reKT9v5c5z6HPxvEQ0/?igshid=gy49ytd16lzb

Without a map, you can find unchartered places. Be unreachable, as you can talk to people on your journey.

Once the sun rises and its rays heating our little desert camp abundantly, Im glad that it's the winter heat and not the summer heat that we've need to tackle in the afternoon 😅🌄💛 . . . #winterheat #solareclipse2019 #glampingchile #andeseclipse #chilecamping #campinginthedesert #winterheat (at Festival Andes Eclipses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzlR6WiAfsLFSks_GAXog-GP9-TS2ZJ4zNFa-80/?igshid=oi6ye2cqwmk8
