A total solar eclipse in December of 2016 gave a few thousand lucky people in Antarctica and countless penguins a chance to see the sun's light being obscured by the moon's shadow.
The Moon's shadow blocks the Sun's rays from reaching part of Earth during a solar eclipse. The land of glaciers and penguins was the part of the Earth that was named.
The National Geographic Resolution and the National Geographic Endurance are two polar passenger vessels that Lindblad Expeditions has.
The partial solar eclipse began at 2 amEST (0700 GMT), the totality began at 2:44 amEST (0744 GMT), and the partial eclipse ended at 3:06 am (0806 GMT), according to NASA.
