To witness the total eclipse, each ship will position itself in the centre of the shadow of the moon and if weather conditions allow, within the sea ice to provide a superb viewing opportunity whether you want to just observe or take photos. As well as experiencing the eclipse each expedition will sail the Drake Passage, visit the Falkland Islands and the spectacular wildlife-filled South Georgia as well as exploring the Antarctica Peninsula. During the austral summer months, large areas of the Peninsula are ice-free making exploration possible and affording truly amazing photographic opportunities such as curious penguins, seals hauled out on ice floes and intricate ice sculptures. These eclipse expeditions departing in late November offer the ideal time to explore this remote area of the world. Select departures will be accompanied by leading experts, from renowned scientists to professional photographers - see below for details. For those short on time, also available are 14, 16 and 17-day itineraries which do not visit the Falklands and/or South Georgia, but focus primarily on the Antarctic Peninsula.
