Scientists on Niuafoou Island

The largest camera in the world is shown in position on Niuafoou Island, in the Tongan group, where perfect weather conditions permitted a very successful observation of the total eclipse of the sun on October 21. The photograph shows the camp of the American scientists, who included Professor Jagger, of Hawaii; Professor

Mitchell, and other well-known Americans.

The camera is 65 feet long.

Niuafoou is an isolated place, extremely difficult of access, but it was the only island in this part of the Pacific that was right in the narrow track of the complete eclipse. ———
