Will is getting going to be gone missing, that is. On August 1st 2008, Mongolia will experience a total eclipse of the sun. Don Croner (no hibernation for him) has all the juicy details, including a recount of the 1997 eclipse (during which according to popular legend the reincarnation of genghis khan was born), but also a complete path of the 2008 rclipse and its path through Mongolia. And although it brings memories of Carly Simon songs to Don’s head, I just can’t get Bonnie Tyler out of mine.
Anyway, the really amazing bit is that a company called Sirius Travel (feel it coming?) is already offering….an eleven day tour to see the eclipse.
If you pay USD 1500 before September 2007, you can be assured to “stand in the shadow of the Moon” one year later. Well if it not so cloudy, that is.
