The total eclipse from Easter Island
Sunday July 11 next year will see a total eclipse of the sun, visible from a corridor that traverses the southern Pacific Ocean.
About halfway through, the path will cross over one of the world's most extraordinary and isolated places, Easter Island, punctuated by its huge, ancient statues. This is going to be the best possible place to observe the eclipse, with the darkened sun lingering above the northwestern horizon.
It's hard to beat the incredible cocktail of a shadowed sun, a Polynesian island, and 887 giant monumental statues (moai).
Only two flights per week serve this tiny outpost, 4 hours from Santiago de Chile . contact: www.nonpareiltravel.com
