Sri Lankans witness Solar Eclipse
25 January 2010
An expedition to Northern Sri Lanka for the Annular Solar Eclipse of 15 January 2010 has been described as an unforgettable experience. The Ring of Fire not only brought amazing views but the sheer joy of being able to travel north after 30 years of war.
In addition, an associated outreach programme attracted around 2000 participants.
