A solar eclipse has darkened the sun over northern Chile.
Tourists from around the world have gathered to witness the cosmic spectacle crossing over a tiny atoll in the South Pacific.
Chile and Argentina are the only places that the total eclipse will be seen aside from an uninhabited island out in the ocean.
The eclipse made its first landfall in Chile around 3:22 p.m. in La Serena, a city of some 200,000 people where the arrival of more than 300,000 visitors forced the local water company to increase output and service gas stations to store extra fuel. Police and health services were also reinforced.
