    Eclipse
Antarctica on February 15th, 2018 and hopes to see it, but unfortunately he is not traveling to Antarctica. He plans to watch the live stream of the eclipse instead. There may not be many people in Antarctica to view the eclipse due to its location. However, Dave mentions that there will be a total solar eclipse in 2024 that will cross Mexico and the USA. In summary, there will be a partial solar eclipse over Antarctica on February 15th, 2018 and Dave plans to watch the live stream since he is unable to travel to Antarctica. There will also be a total solar eclipse in 2024 that will cross Mexico and the USA.
