The cars move up the trail, past a llama herd. The campsite. The telescopes are set up and checked. The partial phase. Joy of the participants during the total phase. The solar corona. End of the total phase and the famous "diamond ring" effect. Concluding statement by a happy scientist (in German with English subtitles).
