Resumen
The genesis for our 13-day Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse itinerary dates back to November 24, 2003, the day Quark Expeditions became the first and only operator to successfully lead a total solar eclipse voyage in remote Antarctica. On that day, we provided 100 people, from 17 different nations, the experience of becoming the first-ever humans to witness a total solar eclipse in Antarctica. Now we've decided to achieve a comparable feat in the Arctic. However, with innovation as our DNA, we set out to make it distinct from any other eclipse viewing experience in the industry.We've assembled a taskforce of eclipse experts, a meteorologist and members of our Expedition Team to research the geography, terrain, angles of the sun in the sky, and Arctic weather patterns to prepare for one of the most rare experiences on the planet-observing a total solar eclipse in the High Arctic.In addition to phenomenal eclipse viewing in the High Arctic, you'll discover the natural wonders of the Vestfjords-the unsung secret of West Iceland. Our journey will also take us into the immense Northeast Greenland National Park, where we will cruise the 110-kilometer King Oscar Fjord. You'll also get to unleash your inner adventurer on thrilling heli-flightseeing adventures over remote Greenland on Ultramarine's state-of-the-art helicopters. Special Guests David Baron The veteran science journalist, broadcaster and umbraphile-who has witnessed nine total solar eclipses across the globe-is also the author of the award-winning “American Eclipse: A Nation's Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World.' Baron has traveled to every continent and more than 50 countries for work and pleasure. Michael Zeiler The highly-respected author, geographer and eclipse cartographer is a member of the International Astronomical Union Working Group on Solar Eclipses-with an asteroid named in his honor. Zeiler has been witnessing solar eclipses since 1991, and was among the first to develop eclipse maps online.
