An annular solar eclipse swept across Antarctica on February 17, 2026, creating a 'ring of fire' visible for 2 minutes and 20 seconds when the Moon covered 96% of the Sun. Research stations including Concordia and Mirny recorded temperature drops and wildlife behavior changes during the brief darkening—data that adds to more than a century of eclipse science that has yielded discoveries from helium to confirmation of general relativity.
