On Feb. 17, 2026, an annular solar eclipse will be visible from a remote part of Antarctica, forming a "ring of fire" for up to 2 minutes, 20 seconds as 96% of the sun's center is eclipsed by the moon.
Few will witness that moment, but observers in the rest of Antarctica — including those on cruise ships on late-season tours — will see a partial solar eclipse, as will people in parts of southern Africa and the southern tip of South America.
