Eclipse 2008
The North Pole
For centuries, explorers set out for the North Pole by sled, ship, aircraft and even balloon, but it wasn't until 1948 that a human reached 90 degrees north. Now Wildlife Worldwide can take you there - aboard the icebreaker Yamal, one of the few ships powerful enough to push through the formidable Arctic ice pack. Join us on this once-in-a-lifetime journey to see a total Solar Eclipse at the top of the world.- Vessel
