Umbra on the Ice -  2003 Flight over Antarctica through the November 2003 Solar eclipse.

Solar Eclipse Travel

As a Project Manager, I love my hobby of chasing and catching Solar Eclipses all over the globe.  It’s world travel on a deadline.  Since 1998, I’ve traveled to the Caribbean, Northern Europe, Africa, Australia, flown over Antarctica, South America, the Galapagos, Libya, Egypt, and China.  My trips since 2002 are shared via the newsletters and the blog listed below.

2002 Australia

2003 Antarctica

2005 Galapagos, Ecuador and Peru

2006 Egypt, Italy and Libya

2008 China

2009 China and Japan

It’s a world spanning hobby that continues to take my husband and me all over the world.  The map below is of solar eclipses from 2001—2025.  For more a larger map, click on the map to link to the NASA Total Solar Eclipse Paths Map.

 

The next eclipse, July 11, 2010 Solar Eclipse, takes a path from the South Pacific to ending at the very tip of South America, in Chile and Argentina.  John and I plan to catch it in the Cook Islands.

I love sharing my hobby and travels.  Above is a presentation I made to a local non-profit group.  If you’d like engage me for such a presentation, please email or call me per my contact information page.

For those in the US who cannot fathom traveling to such lengths to watch the sun go dark, you can look forward to the August 21, 2017 Eclipse starting in Oregon and ending in South Carolina.  Or the April 8, 2024 Eclipse right over Dallas TX, starting in Mexico and ending in Maine.

Happy Travels and Clear Skies.
