Abstract. This paper explores the shadows cast by a rotating, traversable wormhole, specifically the topologically charged Schwarzschild-Klinkahmer (SK) wormhole spacetime. We derive the equation of motion for photons, implement a numerical ray-tracing algorithm based on the Hamiltonian equation, and visualize the shadows produced by this rotating wormhole for an observer located at specified Boyer-Lindquist coordinates within the domain of outer communication. Additionally, we present visualizations of the shadows for various values of the metric parameters and compare our findings with those obtained in the Kerr case.
