Approximate site of the monument. In June 1937, a combined National Geographic Society and US Navy Eclipse Expedition visited the island. A radio network's transmitter beamed an on-the-spot description of the solar show to the United States. A British scientific team from New Zealand also came to Canton Island to view the same eclipse.
