A total solar eclipse is a very special experience. Especially when you watch it from aboard an expedition ship - and in the middle of Antarctica! In December 2021, guests of the Norwegian postal shipping company Hurtigruten will have the opportunity to do just that on two ships: both the Roald Amundsen and the MS Frau will be heading for the South Orkney Islands on December 4 - the ideal position to have the natural spectacle explained to them by the accompanying astronomy experts. Still thinking about it? Well, the next solar eclipse in icy climes won't be seen for another 75 years...
