A partial solar eclipse occurred on July 30, 1935. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

The eclipse occurred around 100 miles (160 km) offshore from Cape Town, the area of the southernmost of Africa and occurred in the area dividing the Atlantic and the Indian oceans, also a small part of northern Antarctica at the Indian Ocean was included.
