Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard takes a selfie with his arm outside the Solar Impulse 2 plane during the 6th leg of their round the world trip, from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport to Nanjing Lukou International Airport, Jiangsu province in China.

Solar Impulse 2 will land in the Japanese city of Nagoya, organisers said today, as bad weather delayed a landmark attempt by a solar plane to cross the Pacific Ocean.

“Weather deteriorating over Pacific, decision taken for intermediate landing in Nagoya and wait for better conditions,” tweeted Bertrand Piccard, the initiator of the mission.
