A ring of sunlight
The apparent lunar disk is smaller than the Sun and leaves an annulus along a narrow track.

Use the NASA path map to check your exact site. Solar protection is required throughout an annular eclipse, including when the ring is complete.
Where to look
Annularity crosses parts of Chile, Argentina and the Atlantic. A wider region sees a partial eclipse.
Never look directly at the Sun through a telescope or binoculars without an appropriate, correctly installed solar filter specifically designed for that equipment. Read the filter guide.
