 of each eclipse are visible from the respective Poles themselves.
2005 April 8 -- The total phase of this annular-total eclipse, with a maximum duration of 42 seconds, traverses a 15-mile wide path entirely over a remote region of the southern Pacific Ocean.
2006 March 29 -- Although this 110-mile wide path of totality crosses Africa and much of Asia, there are no major population centers in its path. However, you can try to catch a brief glimpse of totality exactly at sunrise near Natal, on the northeastern coast of Brazil.
2008 August 1 -- A "midnight Sun" total eclipse visible from the northern tip of Greenland, and parts of northern Russia. The path of totality crosses the Great Wall of China near sunset.
2009 July 22 -- The next eclipse in the July 11, 1991, saros series begins in the Arabian Sea just off the coast of India between Bombay and Ahmadabad. The path traverses central India (including Indore, Benares, and Patna) and the Himalayas through eastern Nepal and Bhutan, passing 75 miles south of Mt. Everest. The shadow engulfs the Chinese cities of Chongqing, Wuhan, and Shanghai before passing out into the East China Sea and halfway across the Pacific.
2010 July 11 -- After crossing Easter Island in the South Pacific, this total solar eclipse path barely touches land in southern Chile and Argentina at sunset.
