Description A tank rusting by a tree in the area around Elephant Pass (in Tamil, ஆனையிறவு). The area is strategically significant - it has a military base which controls access to the Jaffna peninsula - and has therefore been the site of several battles between Tamil rebels and the Sri Lankan Army in the Sri Lankan civil war. The area is currently under the control of the LTTE, which captured it from the Sri Lankan Army following a fierce battle in April 2000.
