OF THE SUN COVERED
Almost all of the Sun went. The light weakened and cooled noticeably, shadows sharpened, and the temperature dropped — but it did not get dark, and the remaining sliver was still blinding.

03 · DIRECTION
Where was it in the sky?
At maximum the Sun was just 5° above the horizon to the east — low enough to need a clear, flat horizon, over water or from high ground.

THE EXPERIENCE
What it was actually like
With 92.2% of the Sun covered the light noticeably weakened and cooled, shadows grew sharp-edged, and the temperature dropped. Gaps between leaves projected rows of crescents onto the ground. The Sun stayed dangerous to look at throughout.
04 · POSITION
Where was it seen?
This eclipse was partial everywhere on Earth — the Moon's dark shadow passed above or below the planet entirely, so there was no path of totality to travel to, from Iqaluit or anywhere else.
