- Tomorrow evening, parts of Spain will watch the Sun disappear twice: behind the Moon, then below the horizon. In PeakVisor, pick a summit and press Play to watch the eclipse and sunset unfold against the actual terrain. We rebuilt the transition yesterday. peakvisor.com/peak/pena-ubin…
- Five summits inside Spain’s path of totality on 12 August, west to east. At Peña Trevinca, the eclipsed Sun will sit 10.4° above the horizon. By Mallorca, just 2.7° above the sea. We checked the real terrain and timed totality at each point. Maps below 🧵
- Where will you watch the eclipse and will a ridge be in the way? Pick any mountain or viewpoint, set 12 August and press Play. See the Sun and Moon cross the real horizon, from partial eclipse to the corona at totality Works on desktop and mobile browsers: peakvisor.com/peak/pena-ubin…
- Hooked river men, cave dragons, glacier beasts, demons bowling with mountains, and a ghost that sent the ice downhill. Where did the Swiss Alps find so many monsters? Eight legends, mapped to the landscapes that kept them alive: peakvisor.com/en/inspiration…
