St Helena: a remote volcanic island | Move now!
#StHelena #Summer2019 #TakeMeTo
St. Helena island, part of the British Overseas Territory also encompassing Ascension and Tristan da Cunha islands, is a remote volcanic outpost in the South Atlantic Ocean. It's famous as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile and death, as commemorated by a now-empty tomb. Climbing destinations include the 699 steps of Jacob's Ladder and Diana's Peak, sheltering endemic plant and animal life.
When to visit:
Travellers often visit Jan–Mar, the warmest part of the year. The rest of the year is also generally warm, although nights can be cool Jun–Aug, especially inland. Rainy season is Apr–May and Jul–Sep. There are civic and patriotic celebrations on St. Helena Day (May 21), which commemorate the founding of the island community in 1502.
Things to do:
1. Longwood House is a mansion in St. Helena and the final residence of Napoleon Bonaparte, during his exile on the island of Saint Helena, from 10 December 1815 until his death on 5 May 1821. It lies on a windswept plain some 6 km from Jamestown.
2. Saint Helena is an island in the South Atlantic Ocean, about midway between South America and Africa. St Helena has a land area of 122 square kilometres and is part of the territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha which includes Ascension Island and the island group of Tristan da Cunha.
3. Jacob's Ladder is a Grade I-listed staircase leading from Jamestown, Saint Helena, up the side of Ladder Hill to Ladder Hill Fort. The ladder is all that remains of an cable railway which was built there in the early 1800s.
4. Diana's Peak is the highest point, at 818 metres, on the island of Saint Helena, a British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is of volcanic origin. Mountain and its surroundings with a total area of 81 ha were proclaimed a national park in March 1996, the first on the island.
5. Plantation House is the official residence of the Governor of Saint Helena. It is located 3.6 km to the south of the capital, Jamestown, on the island of Saint Helena.
6. The Museum of Saint Helena is a museum on the island of Saint Helena, a British Overseas Territory in the south Atlantic Ocean. The museum is managed by the Saint Helena Heritage Society.
7. Jacobs Ladder - 699 Step Climb
8. Heart Shaped Waterfall
9. High Knoll Fort is a redoubt-style fort of the English East India Company on Saint Helena, an island and British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. High Knoll is 584 metres above sea level and is approximately one mile south of historic Lower Jamestown.
10. Boer Cemetery
11. Sandy Bay is one of eight districts of the island of Saint Helena, part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean. Located on the island's southeastern coast, it is sparsely populated and is a popular recreation site.

Saint Helena Island Travel
Saint Helena Island Travel
Saint Helena is a volcanic tropical island in the South Atlantic Ocean, 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) east of Rio de Janeiro and 1,950 kilometres (1,210 mi) west of the Cunene River, which marks the border between Namibia and Angola in southwestern Africa. It is part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.[3] Saint Helena measures about 16 by 8 kilometres (10 by 5 mi) and has a population of 4,534 (2016 census).[2] It was named after Saint Helena of Constantinople.
The island, one of the most remote islands in the world, was uninhabited when discovered by the Portuguese in 1502. It was an important stopover for ships sailing to Europe from Asia and South Africa for centuries. Napoleon was imprisoned there in exile by the British, as were Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo (for leading a Zulu army against British rule) and more than 5,000 Boers taken prisoner during the second Boer War.
Between 1791 and 1833, Saint Helena became the site of a series of experiments in conservation, reforestation and attempts to boost rainfall artificially.[4] This environmental intervention was closely linked to the conceptualisation of the processes of environmental change and helped establish the roots of environmentalism.[4]
Saint Helena is Britain's second-oldest remaining overseas territory after Bermuda.

Return to Trista Da Cunha
I thought I was extremely fortunate to visit Tristan Da Cunha the first time. Returning after one year was extra special, and I was so grateful for the chance to revisit this magical and little-known island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. I ran into some familiar faces and can only pray that one day, I get to return.
Landscape Photography of St Helena Island - Chasing The Light
As photographers on St Helena one of our biggest challenges is capturing good quality, landscape photographs of St Helena. The island is very small yet it boasts amazing, mountainous scenery. But these very same features also work against us, generating cloudy conditions which tend to obscure the morning and evening golden hour.
This video shows off some of the landscape photographs of St Helena we’ve been able to capture, but also the challenges of contending with misty weather.
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is a British Overseas Territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean consisting of the island of Saint Helena, Ascension Island and the island group called Tristan da Cunha. It was previously known as Saint Helena and Dependencies until September 1, 2009, when a new constitution came into force giving the three islands equal status within the territory.
