Additional Information
Total Solar Eclipses are rare in Antarctica, and 16 years ago, a group of
Quark Expeditions passengers became the first humans ever to witness a Total
Solar Eclipse on the 7th continent. In 2021, we will bring back our special
guest expert from the epic 2003 voyage, retired NASA scientist
Fred">https://www.quarkexpeditions.com/en/why-quark/our-people/special-guests/...
Espenak, to join us on this special voyage: Solar Eclipse 2021: Totality in
Antarctica, with South Georgia and Falkland Islands.
Designed for eclipse chasers, this itinerary offers the rare opportunity to
witness the total eclipse of the sun while also setting foot in Antarctica,
as well as a chance to explore the rarely visited sub-Antarctic Falkland
Islands (Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia. During your voyage, you will have
the opportunity to participate in talks led by Fred Espenak, known as “Mr.
Eclipse,” who has participated in 29 eclipse expeditions around the world,
while also learn about the region, its wildlife and history, during onboard
presentations by our team of Polar experts.
On December 4, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse, you will receive a pair of
eclipse glasses, and an invitation to a special evening celebration where you
can relive your eclipse experience with fellow passengers. The excitement of
the voyage continues as your ship then departs for South Georgia and the
Falkland Islands, where you will explore regions rich in wildlife and polar
history.
