Western Argentina & north-central Chile will be treated to a view of a totally eclipsed sun rather low on the horizon just an hour or so before the sun sets for a 'double twilight'.
As "great & marvelous" as that may sound, let me expound on several things not mentioned above.

In Chile the path of totality just so happens to cross the Elqui Valley, 465 miles north of capital city Santiago
Over the border in Argentina, the region of San Juan is the 2nd grape & wine producing region in the country, producing reds like Syrah, Bonarda & Malbec

Wine Valley
Elqui means 'narrow valley' in the local Quechua language, which perfectly sums up to local geography.
Vineyards there receive far higher levels of solar radiation than any European wine region, & this seems to translate into the wine style.

Chie’s Elqui Valley is home to huge telescopes of the US operated Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) & the European Southern Observatory (ESO) at La Silla, though only the latter is open to visitors on eclipse day.

Pitcairn means 'portion abounding in cairns.'
The 'pit' part derives from 'pette' meaning portion, & cairn meaning a 'pile of stones.'
Stones (cairns) were used as a Memorial to God for all to remember all that He had done.
There are 7 Memorials mentioned in the Book of Joshua.
