FACTOID #53: If you thought Antarctica was inhospitable, think again - its land area is only ninety-eight percent ice. Reassuringly, the other 2% is categorised as "barren rock".
By far the largest island off the coast of India, Sri Lanka was part of the British Empire until gaining independence as Ceylon, in 1948. The island faces the Bay on Bengal to the east, the Indian Ocean to the south an the Gulf of Mannar to the west. With a surface area of 65,610 sq km, Sri Lanka is the 21st largest island in the world, and the 7th largest island nation, behind Australia, Madagascar, great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), Cuba, Iceland and Ireland.
This is the "PERL OF THE INDIAN OCEAN". After defeating 30 years terrorist's activities Sri Lanka is resetled as a peaceful country.
