Abstract: In the paper we consider the Jacobian locus $overline{J}_g$ and the Prym locus $overline{P}_{g+1}$, in the moduli space $A_g$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$, for $ggeq7$, and we study the extrinsic geometry of $overline{J}_{g}subsetoverline{P}_{g+1}$, under the inclusion provided by the theory of generalized Prym varieties as introduced by Beauville. More precisely, we study certain geodesic curves with respect to the Siegel metric of $A_g$, starting at a Jacobian variety $[JC]in{A}_g$ of a curve $[C]in{M}_g$ and with direction $zetain{T}_{[JC]}{J}_g$. We prove that for a general $JC$, any geodesic of this kind is not contained in $overline{J}_g$ and even in $overline{P}_{g+1}$, if $zeta$ has rank $k<CliffC-3$, where $CliffC$ denotes the Clifford index of $C$.
