The genesis for our 13-day Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse itinerary dates back to November 24, 2003, the day Quark Expeditions became the first and only operator to successfully lead a total solar eclipse voyage in remote Antarctica. On that day, we provided 100 people, from 17 different nations, the experience of becoming the first-ever humans to witness a total solar eclipse in Antarctica. Now we’ve decided to achieve a comparable feat in the Arctic. However, with innovation as our DNA, we set out to make it distinct from any other eclipse viewing experience in the industry. We’ve assembled a taskforce of eclipse experts, a meteorologist and members of our Expedition Team to research the geography, terrain, angles of the sun in the sky, and Arctic weather patterns to prepare for one of the most rare experiences on the planet—observing a total solar eclipse in the High Arctic. In addition to phenomenal eclipse viewing in the High Arctic, you’ll discover the natural wonders of the Vestfjords—the unsung secret of West Iceland. Our journey will also take us into the immense Northeast Greenland National Park, where we will cruise the 110-kilometer King Oscar Fjord. You’ll also get to unleash your inner adventurer on thrilling heli-flightseeing adventures over remote Greenland on Ultramarine’s state-of-the-art helicopters. Special Guests David Baron The veteran science journalist, broadcaster and umbraphile—who has witnessed nine total solar eclipses across the globe—is also the author of the award-winning “American Eclipse: A Nation's Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World.” Baron has traveled to every continent and more than 50 countries for work and pleasure. Michael Zeiler The highly-respected author, geographer and eclipse cartographer is a member of the International Astronomical Union Working Group on Solar Eclipses—with an asteroid named in his honor. Zeiler has been witnessing solar eclipses since 1991, and was among the first to develop eclipse maps online.s

Opportunities to witness a total solar eclipse are rare. Your chances of experiencing one in the Arctic—from the deck of a polar ship—are even more rare considering the last total solar eclipse north of the Arctic Circle occurred in 2015. The next will take place on August 12, 2026. To satisfy the demand of eclipse-watchers, we’re offering two eclipse themed itineraries in 2026: Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse, 13 days, on the helicopter-equipped Ultramarine; and Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse, 17 Days, on one of our newest ships, Ocean Explorer. This longer voyage—2,200 nautical miles in total—features your bucket-list eclipse adventure, time to explore Northeast and South Greenland, plus you get to check off two of the world’s northernmost capital cities: the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik (64°08′ north), where you’ll have time to explore, and Nuuk, Greenland (64°11′ north), where we disembark for our charter flight back to Reykjavik. World-renown eclipse-cartographer Michael Zeiler (see page 6) will be onboard to deepen your understanding of eclipse-viewing, observational astronomy and celestial mechanics. Of course, you’ll also get to witness waterfalls, towering cliffs and remote fishing villages in the Westfjords, a hidden gem of Iceland, as well as icebergs, wilderness areas, glaciers, and the deep fjords of Greenland.
By combining two of Iceland’s best-known trekking trails, you get an unbelievable seven-day trek through incredibly diverse landscapes.

Before arriving at the Botnar hut where we stay the night, we visit the magnificent Markarfljót canyon cut almost 200 m down into the rocks south of Hattfell.Day 4: EMSTRUR - ÞÓRSMÖRKWe continue up and down through the small valleys and gullies of Emstrur, where the great Mýrdalsjökull glacier rises only a couple of kilometers away. At the end of the day, the vegetation starts to grow thicker and higher as we descend into Þórsmörk’s (the woods of Thor) green valleys filled with arctic birch forests and colorful flowers. We cross the river Krossá on a footbridge entering the magic landscapes of Goðaland, the abode of the Gods. Nesting at the foot of two glaciers this is a wonderland of ridges and cliffs covered by a multitude of flowers and grasses, certainly fit for gods and humans alike. Even the elves have made themselves at home here. We spend the night in the Básar hut.Day 5: ÞÓRSMÖRK - FIMMVÖRÐUHÁLSWe climb up the hills leading to the pass of Fimmvörðuháls, walking along the Kattarhryggir ridges with views to the impressive mountain of Útigönguhöfði up to Morinsheiði heath. At the end of the Morinsheiði plateau we enjoy the view of the lava stream that flowed down from the Fimmvörðuháls volcano in March and early April 2010. As we gain height above Morinsheiði we come to the lava and then to the two craters Magni and Móði that erupted prior to the main Eyjafjallajökull crater. We head back to Þórsmörk with the magnificent view over the glaciers and this beautiful valley for our celebration barbeque dinner and night in Básar Hut.Day 6: ÞÓRSMÖRK VALLEYWe spend the last day in Þórsmörk, the hiker’s paradise, where we have an abundance of choices between various paths. For example, we can visit the Sönghellir cave (“Song cave”), climb up the small mountain of Valahnúkur from where the magnificent views can be enjoyed, or hike into the beautifully carved canyon Stakkholtsgjá. This oasis between the mountains is also an ideal place to relax and just enjoy nature. Return to Reykjavik in the afternoon.
