The total
eclipse of the Sun on November 23, 2003, is the hardest one to reach in
decades. The Moon's umbral shadow spends barely an hour on Earth, arcing
across a remote stretch of Antarctica. Many eclipse-chasers will pass
this one up, but you don't have to.
Join Sky & Telescope and
TravelQuest International for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure –
experience nearly 2 minutes of totality from the bottom of the world!
As one of the World’s premier organizers of eclipse tours,
TravelQuest International, joining with Sky & Telescope, always
has the very latest technical details available on each solar eclipse
and the expedition to Antarctica is no exception. We have meticulously
planned this expedition with experts in the field, some of whom will be
joining us.
Expedition members will be flown into Antarctica from Punta Arenas,
Chile. Nine days will spent on the ice at our Dronning Maud Land base camp, Eclipse 1, giving you enough time
not only to view the eclipse, but to immerse yourself in the sparkling
surroundings of this magnificent frozen continent. The clear atmosphere
and clean stark landscapes should allow for breathtaking viewing and
photography of the eclipse.
TravelQuest and Sky & Telescope look forward to sharing a
"Great Lifetime Travel Achievement" with our fellow expedition members.
Be among the few who will travel to "The Last Frontier" and stand in the
Moon's shadow. Your next opportunity to experience a total solar
eclipse in Antarctica will be in 2021, so don’t miss this one! Call and
reserve your space today! |
