The top ten places to visit in 2015

We take a look at the top 10 places to visit in 2015.

GALLIPOLI, Turkey

The Gallipoli Peninsula in north-western Turkey has long been a place of pilgrimage for Australians and New Zealanders. But interest in the destination is expected to increase this year with the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the April 25 Anzac landing.

More than 50,000 Aussies and Kiwis are expected to attend official Anzac Day celebrations at Gallipoli but those who do not have a ticket are advised to avoid travelling to Gallipoli around that time.

However a range of coach tours and special centenary trips make it possible for visitors to see Gallipoli's memorials and battlefields all year long.

FAROE ISLANDS

Winner of the National Geographic reader's choice award for the best trip to take in 2015, the Faroe Islands are a group of 18 islands situated about halfway between Iceland and Norway.

On March 20 they will become one of only two places in the world where it will be possible to witness a total solar eclipse.

On that day at precisely 9.41am the Islands will be plunged into total darkness as people from across the world gather together with Faroese locals to witness the rare event.

The first human trials of a new Ebola vaccine are today underway, the latest step in attempts to halt the spread of the virus in West Africa.

Scientists at Oxford University have immunised the first healthy volunteers with a new drug, which they hope will protect people against the disease.

The World Health Organisation said today more than 8,100 people have now lost their lives to the virus, the majority in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

In September a separate trial was launched at the university, to test the effects of another potential vaccine.

The Oxford Vaccine Group, part of the University of Oxford Department of Paediatrics, aims to have vaccinated 72 healthy adult volunteers by the end of this month.

Oxford University scientists have begun immunising healthy volunteers in a trial of a new experimental Ebola vaccine. They hope to immunise 72 adults by the end of the month

The study involves a 'prime-boost' vaccine regime, meaning volunteers are given a first 'prime' injection to stimulate an initial immune response.
