Saint Helena
Saint Helena (/ˌseɪnt həˈliːnə/ SAYNT-hə-LEE-nə) 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. Saint Helena measures about 16 by 8 kilometres (10 by 5 mi) and has a population of 4,255 (2008 census). It was named after Saint Helena of Constantinople.
The island was uninhabited when discovered by the Portuguese in 1502. One of the most remote islands in the world, it was for centuries an important stopover for ships sailing to Europe from Asia and South Africa. 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. This environmental intervention was closely linked to the conceptualisation of the processes of environmental change and helped establish the roots of environmentalism.

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 archipelago of Tristan da Cunha. It was known as Saint Helena and Dependencies until 1 September 2009, when a new constitution came into force giving the three islands equal status within the territory.
Administrative divisions
Administratively, the territory is divided into the same three parts as the territory's geography, namely Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. Each is governed by a council. The Governor of the territory presides over the Saint Helena Legislative Council, while he or she is represented by an Administrator on Ascension Island and an Administrator on Tristan da Cunha that preside over these two areas' Island Councils. See Constitution section below.
The island of St Helena is then further divided into eight districts.
History
Of volcanic origin, the islands of Saint Helena, Ascension Island, and Tristan da Cunha were all formerly separate colonies of the English crown, though separately discovered by several Portuguese explorers between 1502 and 1504.

Helena of Skövde
Saint Helena (sometimes St. Helen of Sköfde; Swedish: Elin av Skövde) was a woman of high birth, who lived in the 12th century, and was considered to be the patron saint of Skövde, Sweden. Saint Helena decorates the Skövde city arm and is the patron saint of the church in Ränneslöv.
She was born around 1101. She was of noble family and is generally believed to have been the daughter of the Jarl Guthorm. In adult life, she married and bore children. After the death of her husband, she lived on his farm at Våmb in Skara. She also gave her belongings to the poor and undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. She returned and settled on the farm where she dedicated herself to spiritual and kind actions. According to legend, it is Helena who built Våmbs Church (Våmbs kyrka) in the Skara diocese at the farm in Våmb. The church in Skövde, now called St. Helena Church (Sankta Helena kyrka), was also largely built as a result of generous donations from Helena.
Helena had a daughter who had married, and was beaten and abused by her husband. After a time, the servants at Helena's farm united and killed the husband. His relatives blamed Helena for the murder, even though she was on a pilgrimage to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem at the time. To avenge his death they killed Helena at Götene while she was on her way to church in 1160.

The Castle (Saint Helena)
The Castle is the main government building on the island of Saint Helena, located in the historic centre of the capital Jamestown, close to James Bay and the old town gate. The oldest parts of the complex date to 1710 but it was largely reconstructed in the 1860s because of termite damage. It does not have the appearance of a typical castle, though historically the site was part of the East India Company fortifications of Jamestown.
Originally the residence of the Governor of Saint Helena, it is today the location of many of the island’s administrative offices, including the Chief Secretary’s. Also part of the complex is Jamestown’s police station, a library, the island’s main courthouse and public gardens. Other buildings in Jamestown are also used to house government-related offices and functions. It is a Grade I Listed building.

St. Helena - A remote island in the Atlantic | DW Documentary
Every third week, a British Royal Mail ship begins its journey from Cape Town to Saint Helena, the remote island in the Atlantic where Napoleon was once in exile. It’s like the end of the world in the middle of the Atlantic. Five days, with a northwesterly course, and only then do the sheer black cliffs appear in front of RMS St. Helena.

Director Thomas Denzel and his team went on the journey to Saint Helena and met the people living on the island. Many of the residents are descendants of people who were sent into exile there by the British crown - the most famous among them, the French Emperor Napoleon.

Flying to St Helena Airport
This trip to the St. Helena Airport took place on 15 February 2020, before the major current travel restrictions. Here's a video with my thoughts on that situation: http://jeb.flights/travel This video is about flying to the St. Helena Airport. St. Helena Airport is one of the most challenging airports in the world. Less than ten commercial airline pilots are certified to land here! At either end of the runway are massive cliffs, which create challenging wind conditions. I’ve wanted to visit St. Helena for a long time. When the St. Helena Airport received its first commercial flight in 2017, the trip became far more viable for me. Before St. Helena Airport opened, a trip there required a five day boat trip just to get there. St. Helena’s role in the Age of Exploration cannot be unde...

Driving on St Helena is probably the best way to experience the island, whether you're a resident or short-term visitor.
Although St Helena is a British island with most of the same driving laws, there are some unique and sometimes quirky rules and guidelines that are worth knowing, before getting behind the wheel.
One of the biggest challenges on St Helena is the steep terrain! If that's not enough, the roads are often single lane, tight hairpin turns and blind bends are everywhere and signage is minimal.
But don't panic!
Check out this short video with tips and insights to driving on St Helena, designed to help the first-time visitor to have a safe and enjoyable experience getting around the island.

This trip to the St. Helena Airport took place on 15 February 2020, before the major current travel restrictions. Here's a video with my thoughts on that situation:
http://jeb.flights/travel
This video is about flying to the St. Helena Airport. St. Helena Airport is one of the most challenging airports in the world. Less than ten commercial airline pilots are certified to land here!
At either end of the runway are massive cliffs, which create challenging wind conditions.
I’ve wanted to visit St. Helena for a long time. When the St. Helena Airport received its first commercial flight in 2017, the trip became far more viable for me. Before St. Helena Airport opened, a trip there required a five day boat trip just to get there.
St. Helena’s role in the Age of Exploration cannot be understated. The Portuguese used St. Helena as a secret base for restocking their ships (they left a heard of goats and planted citrus trees. It then became a key possession of the British East India Company before it was suddenly converted into a prison for the world’s most feared man – Napoleon. He died there, too. Today, it’s a fascinating British Overseas Territory accessed thanks to the St. Helena Airport.
In this video, we’ll explore the flight’s route, the passenger experience, and even peak behind the scenes at the St. Helena Airport to understand how it all works.
Here’s a link to the unedited take-off and landing footage:

Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha are lesser-known populated British Overseas Territories nestled in the vastness of the South Atlantic Ocean. Saint Helena, famously known as Napoleon Bonaparte's final place of exile. Ascension Island, with its strategic military past and lush Green Mountain, serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, particularly sea turtles.

St. Helena - A remote island in the Atlantic | DW Documentary
Every third week, a British Royal Mail ship begins its journey from Cape Town to Saint Helena, the remote island in the Atlantic where Napoleon was once in exile. It’s like the end of the world in the middle of the Atlantic. Five days, with a northwesterly course, and only then do the sheer black cliffs appear in front of RMS St. Helena. The island’s 4500 residents are often waiting impatiently for the ship’s arrival and panic if the schedule changes. Director Thomas Denzel and his team went on the journey to Saint Helena and met the people living on the island. Many of the residents are descendants of people who were sent into exile there by the British crown - the most famous among them, the French Emperor Napoleon. This is a report about life at the end of the world, loneliness, unique...

The Saints are some of the kindest people I’ve ever come across in my travels. Because I had such a great time, I thought I’d try something different for this video about St. Helena. I normally make videos here on YouTube about airlines, but perhaps the most amazing part of aviation are the places it can take. Places like St Helena.

Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha are lesser-known populated British Overseas Territories nestled in the vastness of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Saint Helena, famously known as Napoleon Bonaparte's final place of exile.
Ascension Island, with its strategic military past and lush Green Mountain, serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, particularly sea turtles.
Tristan da Cunha, home to the most remote human settlement on Earth, captivates with its volcanic landscapes and resilient community.
Although all of them are volcanic islands, only the Tristan da Cunha group of islands have active volcanoes. The highest point of the territories is Queen Mary's Peak on the island of Tristan da Cunha, with an elevation of 2,062 metres (6,765 ft) above sea level.
St Helena
St Helena is located west of South Africa, and east of Brazil.
The population is about 4500, mainly descended from British settlers, soldiers, sailors and African slaves. Most of them are Anglicans. The capital is Jamestown and the largest town is Half Tree Hollow.
Portuguese mariners came upon this uninhabited in 1502.
Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned on the island after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815 and remained confined there until he died in 1821.
St Helena became a British crown colony in 1834.
In 1981, Islanders lost their status as 'Citizens of the United Kingdom. - Britain retracted a 1981 and issued full citizenship.
Ascension
Ascension Island lies about 1,300 km northwest of St. Helena.
The island is home to a Royal Air Force station, a European Space Agency’s rocket tracking station, a British-American signals intelligence facility and the BBC World Service Atlantic Relay Station. Ascension houses one of four ground antennas that assist in the operation of GPS navigational system.
The island is about 88 sq. km.
The island was discovered by Portuguese navigators in 1501.
During WW2 in 1943, The US military built the Wideawake airbase and landing strip and remained on the island until 1947.
The East Telegraph Company, now Cable & Wireless, administers the island until 1964. Then the BBC established a South Atlantic relay station
In 1967, A NASA tracking station was built to support the Apollo lunar landing program but closed in 1990 and it was replaced by a European Space Agency station. During the Falkland War in 1982, the island was used as a base to support British military operations.
A new constitution in 2009 made the island part of the territory of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.
The main economic activity on the island is centred on the military bases at Wideawake Airfield, and the BBC World Service's Atlantic Relay station.
The main export is postage stamps, commemorative coins, and commercial fishing licenses for long-line tuna fishing.
Tourism is starting to develop and all visitors an entry permit. Sport fishing is the main attraction for many visitors. The island also has what is sometimes called the worst golf course in the world.
Tristan da Cunha
The closest inhabited landmass is Saint Helena some 2437 km away. The only way to get to Tristan is by ship, a six-day trip from South Africa on a cargo or mail ship.
( lying approximately 2,787 kilometres (1,732 mi) from Cape Town in South Africa, 2,437 kilometres (1,514 mi) from Saint Helena, 3,949 kilometres (2,454 mi) from Mar del Plata[6] in Argentina, and 4,002 kilometres (2,487 mi) from the Falkland Islands)
The archipelago includes the island of Tristan da Cunha as well as other smaller uninhabited islands such as the Gough Island, Nightingale Islands and Inaccessible Islands.
Tristan da Cunha
Tristan da Cunha is generally mountainous. The only flat area is on the north-west coast, which is the location of the only settlement Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is home to about 250 people and the agricultural area of Potato Patches.
Gough Island
Gough Island is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the most important seabird colonies in the world.
Inaccessible Island
Access to Inaccessible Island must be granted by the government office, it is given only a few days of the year.
Nightingale Islands
Nightingale Islands are a group of three islands. The Nightingale Island finch is found nowhere else in the world.
The islands were declared part of the British Empire in 1875. Then in 1938, Tristan da Cunha was declared a dependency of St Helena.
A volcanic eruption after the settlement in 1961 forced an evacuation of all the islanders to the UK. The majority returned to the islands in 1963.
A new constitution in 2009 made the islands part of the territory of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.
https://wn.com/Saint_Helena,_Ascension_And_Tristan_Da_Cunha_A_British_Overseas_Territory
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha are lesser-known populated British Overseas Territories nestled in the vastness of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Saint Helena, famously known as Napoleon Bonaparte's final place of exile.
Ascension Island, with its strategic military past and lush Green Mountain, serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, particularly sea turtles.
Tristan da Cunha, home to the most remote human settlement on Earth, captivates with its volcanic landscapes and resilient community.
Although all of them are volcanic islands, only the Tristan da Cunha group of islands have active volcanoes. The highest point of the territories is Queen Mary's Peak on the island of Tristan da Cunha, with an elevation of 2,062 metres (6,765 ft) above sea level.
St Helena
St Helena is located west of South Africa, and east of Brazil.
The population is about 4500, mainly descended from British settlers, soldiers, sailors and African slaves. Most of them are Anglicans. The capital is Jamestown and the largest town is Half Tree Hollow.

Every third week, a British Royal Mail ship begins its journey from Cape Town to Saint Helena, the remote island in the Atlantic where Napoleon was once in exile.
It’s like the end of the world in the middle of the Atlantic. Five days, with a northwesterly course, and only then do the sheer black cliffs appear in front of RMS St. Helena. The island’s 4500 residents are often waiting impatiently for the ship’s arrival and panic if the schedule changes. Director Thomas Denzel and his team went on the journey to Saint Helena and met the people living on the island. Many of the residents are descendants of people who were sent into exile there by the British crown - the most famous among them, the French Emperor Napoleon. This is a report about life at the end of the world, loneliness, unique vegetation, and a very special journey.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The remote islands of St Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha lie in the South Atlantic Ocean, midway between Africa and South America. Though far from each other, they form a single territorial grouping under the sovereignty of the British Crown.
2. In the 1600s The British East India Company uses St. Helena as a way station for trading ships sailing home from the Orient and is granted a charter to run the island, installing its own governor in 1659. The island is uninhabited when it is first discovered by Portuguese mariners, in 1502.
3. St Helena is probably best known as the island to which French Emperor Napolean Bonaparte was exiled in 1815 after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. In 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte is imprisoned on the island after his defeat at Waterloo and remains confined there until his death in 1821.
4. Just south of the equator, Ascension Island is 700 miles from its nearest neighbour St Helena. It is a vital staging post for Britain in the South Atlantic and served as a key logistical base for troops during the Falklands War in 1982.
5. In 1501 Ascension is discovered by Portuguese navigator Joao da Nove Castella but remains uninhabited until the arrival of a British naval garrison in 1815.
6. Tristan da Cunha was once the main trading route between Europe and the Indian Ocean. It is now home to 300 residents who live in its only settlement, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.Situated 1,243 miles from its closest neighbour Saint Helena, 1,491 miles from South Africa and 2,088 miles from South America, the remote archipelago includes Inaccessible, Nightingale, Middle, Stoltenhoff, and Gough - which has a manned weather station. Accessible only by a six-day boat journey from South Africa, its main island is just seven miles long.
7. Jamestown is the capital of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, located on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is also the historic main settlement of the island and is on its north-western coast. Many of the buildings built by the East India Company in the 1700s survive and give the town its distinctive Georgian flavour.

This trip to the St. Helena took place from 15 - 18 February 2020, before the major current travel restrictions. I do not encourage anyone to travel now. #StayHome. Here's a video with my thoughts on the current situation:
http://jeb.flights/travel
St. Helena may just be one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. The Saints are some of the kindest people I’ve ever come across in my travels. Because I had such a great time, I thought I’d try something different for this video about St. Helena.
I normally make videos here on YouTube about airlines, but perhaps the most amazing part of aviation are the places it can take. Places like St Helena. So, in this video about St Helena, I’m trying a little experiment: Let’s check out some things on the ground in St Helena! We’ll explore some of the highlights of St. Helena and some of what I enjoyed while I was here. Let me know what you think about this experiment by leaving comments. I always appreciate feedback! And next week, I’ll post a more typical video about my return to the mainland.
St. Helena is home to epic history, out-of-this-world scenery, and incredible opportunities for intreprid travelers.
We’ll explore the infamous Jacobs Ladder, Napoleon’s two residences on St. Helena, some of the hiking available on the island, as well as some of the most amazing vistas.
This is my first attempt at a video about something unrelated to aviation, so I’d appreciate your feedback. I think it’s probably fair to say I need to expand my coverage of things like accomodations and food if I continue with this. Also, maybe I’ll do this on a separate channel. Anyway, let me know what you think of this first attempt. And, also, let me know if you’re heading to St. Helena once we can all travel again!

Every third week, a British Royal Mail ship begins its journey from Cape Town to Saint Helena, the remote island in the Atlantic where Napoleon was once in exile.
It’s like the end of the world in the middle of the Atlantic. Five days, with a northwesterly course, and only then do the sheer black cliffs appear in front of RMS St. Helena. The island’s 4500 residents are often waiting impatiently for the ship’s arrival and panic if the schedule changes. Director Thomas Denzel and his team went on the journey to Saint Helena and met the people living on the island. Many of the residents are descendants of people who were sent into exile there by the British crown - the most famous among them, the French Emperor Napoleon. This is a report about life at the end of the world, loneliness, unique vegetation, and a very special journey.

The small island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic is home to unique fauna and flora. Many of the more than 400 species living here are found nowhere else in the world. To ensure that it stays that way, the inhabitants are committed to preserving biodiversity in extraordinary ways.
It is one of the most remote, isolated corners of the world, a small island of volcanic origin in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Located between southern Africa and South America, the remote island became famous as the former French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte’s place of exile. Today, St. Helena is still a British overseas territory.
St. Helena is also an insider tip for explorers and true nature lovers. The main reason is its breath-taking natural beauty, which thrives in a temperate subtropical climate. In order to preserve their homeland and its unusual biodiversity, the locals - the "Saints", as the islanders proudly call themselves - decided to come together to protect it. Their achievements have surpassed all expectations.
A wildlife and nature film that showcases this unique island at the 'end of the world’ - and its astonishing environmental victories.

Jamestown is the capital of St Helena Island, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean.
The island is tiny and very remote, it’s most notable claim to fame is that French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled here in 1815, where he died 6 years later.
Until recently St Helena was only accessible by ship, however, St Helena Airport began scheduled flights in 2017 and now weekly flights to Johannesburg, South Africa, keep the island connected with the outside world.
For anyone considering living or taking up a job opportunity on St Helena, this short film gives some insight to what you can expect to find in the island's capital, Jamestown.
Sampling the prestigious St Helena coffee, night swimming at the Jamestown pool, noisy street parades to celebrate the national day and spotting the colourful fish in the Castle Gardens fountain, are some of the activities to experience.
This video about Jamestown also includes shopping for groceries along Main Street, catching a taxi, climbing Jacob's Ladder and target shooting at the Jamestown Rifle Club, plus lots more!
We also include an overview of Jamestown’s history and how it came to be a city.
Filmed & produced in early 2023

They needed a prison for the most dangerous man in the World. Napoleon had seized supreme power in France. He’d marched his armies from Portugal to Moscow. But now he was a prisoner. His captors needed a prison from which escape was unthinkable.
Their answer lay in the South Atlantic. A scrap of land a thousand miles from the African coast. St Helena. Dan Snow visits this remote island to learn more about its history. From accommodating some of the British Empire's greatest enemies to its role during - and in the aftermath of - the transatlantic slave trade.

Driving on St Helena is probably the best way to experience the island, whether you're a resident or short-term visitor.
Although St Helena is a British island with most of the same driving laws, there are some unique and sometimes quirky rules and guidelines that are worth knowing, before getting behind the wheel.
One of the biggest challenges on St Helena is the steep terrain! If that's not enough, the roads are often single lane, tight hairpin turns and blind bends are everywhere and signage is minimal.
But don't panic!
Check out this short video with tips and insights to driving on St Helena, designed to help the first-time visitor to have a safe and enjoyable experience getting around the island.

In 326 A.D., Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, Emperor of Rome, embarks on the first pilgrimage ever made to the Holy Land to atone for her son’s great sin.

Follow Helena's struggles to find the humble place of Jesus's birth, the tomb of Lazarus, the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane the Holy Sepulcher, and Golgotha, the site of Jesus's death. Her example of humility, faith and sacrifice made the Holy Land into a place of pilgrimage for centuries to come. Join Helena on this first journey to retrace the footsteps of Jesus, narrated by Academy Award-winner Sir Ben Kingsley.

This trip to the St. Helena Airport took place on 15 February 2020, before the major current travel restrictions. Here's a video with my thoughts on that situation:
http://jeb.flights/travel
This video is about flying to the St. Helena Airport. St. Helena Airport is one of the most challenging airports in the world. Less than ten commercial airline pilots are certified to land here!
At either end of the runway are massive cliffs, which create challenging wind conditions.
I’ve wanted to visit St. Helena for a long time. When the St. Helena Airport received its first commercial flight in 2017, the trip became far more viable for me. Before St. Helena Airport opened, a trip there required a five day boat trip just to get there.
St. Helena’s role in the Age of Exploration cannot be understated. The Portuguese used St. Helena as a secret base for restocking their ships (they left a heard of goats and planted citrus trees. It then became a key possession of the British East India Company before it was suddenly converted into a prison for the world’s most feared man – Napoleon. He died there, too. Today, it’s a fascinating British Overseas Territory accessed thanks to the St. Helena Airport.
In this video, we’ll explore the flight’s route, the passenger experience, and even peak behind the scenes at the St. Helena Airport to understand how it all works.
Here’s a link to the unedited take-off and landing footage:

Saint Helena
Saint Helena (/ˌseɪnt həˈliːnə/ SAYNT-hə-LEE-nə) 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. Saint Helena measures about 16 by 8 kilometres (10 by 5 mi) and has a population of 4,255 (2008 census). It was named after Saint Helena of Constantinople.
The island was uninhabited when discovered by the Portuguese in 1502. One of the most remote islands in the world, it was for centuries an important stopover for ships sailing to Europe from Asia and South Africa. 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. This environmental intervention was closely linked to the conceptualisation of the processes of environmental change and helped establish the roots of environmentalism.

Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha are lesser-known populated British Overseas Territories nestled in the vastness of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Saint Helena, famously known as Napoleon Bonaparte's final place of exile.
Ascension Island, with its strategic military past and lush Green Mountain, serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, particularly sea turtles.
Tristan da Cunha, home to the most remote human settlement on Earth, captivates with its volcanic landscapes and resilient community.
Although all of them are volcanic islands, only the Tristan da Cunha group of islands have active volcanoes. The highest point of the territories is Queen Mary's Peak on the island of Tristan da Cunha, with an elevation of 2,062 metres (6,765 ft) above sea level.
St Helena
St Helena is located west of South Africa, and east of Brazil.
The population is about 4500, mainly descended from British settlers, soldiers, sailors and African slaves. Most of them are Anglicans. The capital is Jamestown and the largest town is Half Tree Hollow.
Portuguese mariners came upon this uninhabited in 1502.
Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned on the island after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815 and remained confined there until he died in 1821.
St Helena became a British crown colony in 1834.
In 1981, Islanders lost their status as 'Citizens of the United Kingdom. - Britain retracted a 1981 and issued full citizenship.
Ascension
Ascension Island lies about 1,300 km northwest of St. Helena.
The island is home to a Royal Air Force station, a European Space Agency’s rocket tracking station, a British-American signals intelligence facility and the BBC World Service Atlantic Relay Station. Ascension houses one of four ground antennas that assist in the operation of GPS navigational system.
The island is about 88 sq. km.
The island was discovered by Portuguese navigators in 1501.
During WW2 in 1943, The US military built the Wideawake airbase and landing strip and remained on the island until 1947.
The East Telegraph Company, now Cable & Wireless, administers the island until 1964. Then the BBC established a South Atlantic relay station
In 1967, A NASA tracking station was built to support the Apollo lunar landing program but closed in 1990 and it was replaced by a European Space Agency station. During the Falkland War in 1982, the island was used as a base to support British military operations.
A new constitution in 2009 made the island part of the territory of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.
The main economic activity on the island is centred on the military bases at Wideawake Airfield, and the BBC World Service's Atlantic Relay station.
The main export is postage stamps, commemorative coins, and commercial fishing licenses for long-line tuna fishing.
Tourism is starting to develop and all visitors an entry permit. Sport fishing is the main attraction for many visitors. The island also has what is sometimes called the worst golf course in the world.
Tristan da Cunha
The closest inhabited landmass is Saint Helena some 2437 km away. The only way to get to Tristan is by ship, a six-day trip from South Africa on a cargo or mail ship.
( lying approximately 2,787 kilometres (1,732 mi) from Cape Town in South Africa, 2,437 kilometres (1,514 mi) from Saint Helena, 3,949 kilometres (2,454 mi) from Mar del Plata[6] in Argentina, and 4,002 kilometres (2,487 mi) from the Falkland Islands)
The archipelago includes the island of Tristan da Cunha as well as other smaller uninhabited islands such as the Gough Island, Nightingale Islands and Inaccessible Islands.
Tristan da Cunha
Tristan da Cunha is generally mountainous. The only flat area is on the north-west coast, which is the location of the only settlement Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is home to about 250 people and the agricultural area of Potato Patches.
Gough Island
Gough Island is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the most important seabird colonies in the world.
Inaccessible Island
Access to Inaccessible Island must be granted by the government office, it is given only a few days of the year.
Nightingale Islands
Nightingale Islands are a group of three islands. The Nightingale Island finch is found nowhere else in the world.
The islands were declared part of the British Empire in 1875. Then in 1938, Tristan da Cunha was declared a dependency of St Helena.
A volcanic eruption after the settlement in 1961 forced an evacuation of all the islanders to the UK. The majority returned to the islands in 1963.
A new constitution in 2009 made the islands part of the territory of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.

Every third week, a British Royal Mail ship begins its journey from Cape Town to Saint Helena, the remote island in the Atlantic where Napoleon was once in exile.
It’s like the end of the world in the middle of the Atlantic. Five days, with a northwesterly course, and only then do the sheer black cliffs appear in front of RMS St. Helena. The island’s 4500 residents are often waiting impatiently for the ship’s arrival and panic if the schedule changes. Director Thomas Denzel and his team went on the journey to Saint Helena and met the people living on the island. Many of the residents are descendants of people who were sent into exile there by the British crown - the most famous among them, the French Emperor Napoleon. This is a report about life at the end of the world, loneliness, unique vegetation, and a very special journey.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The remote islands of St Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha lie in the South Atlantic Ocean, midway between Africa and South America. Though far from each other, they form a single territorial grouping under the sovereignty of the British Crown.
2. In the 1600s The British East India Company uses St. Helena as a way station for trading ships sailing home from the Orient and is granted a charter to run the island, installing its own governor in 1659. The island is uninhabited when it is first discovered by Portuguese mariners, in 1502.
3. St Helena is probably best known as the island to which French Emperor Napolean Bonaparte was exiled in 1815 after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. In 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte is imprisoned on the island after his defeat at Waterloo and remains confined there until his death in 1821.
4. Just south of the equator, Ascension Island is 700 miles from its nearest neighbour St Helena. It is a vital staging post for Britain in the South Atlantic and served as a key logistical base for troops during the Falklands War in 1982.
5. In 1501 Ascension is discovered by Portuguese navigator Joao da Nove Castella but remains uninhabited until the arrival of a British naval garrison in 1815.
6. Tristan da Cunha was once the main trading route between Europe and the Indian Ocean. It is now home to 300 residents who live in its only settlement, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.Situated 1,243 miles from its closest neighbour Saint Helena, 1,491 miles from South Africa and 2,088 miles from South America, the remote archipelago includes Inaccessible, Nightingale, Middle, Stoltenhoff, and Gough - which has a manned weather station. Accessible only by a six-day boat journey from South Africa, its main island is just seven miles long.
7. Jamestown is the capital of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, located on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is also the historic main settlement of the island and is on its north-western coast. Many of the buildings built by the East India Company in the 1700s survive and give the town its distinctive Georgian flavour.

This trip to the St. Helena took place from 15 - 18 February 2020, before the major current travel restrictions. I do not encourage anyone to travel now. #StayHome. Here's a video with my thoughts on the current situation:
http://jeb.flights/travel
St. Helena may just be one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. The Saints are some of the kindest people I’ve ever come across in my travels. Because I had such a great time, I thought I’d try something different for this video about St. Helena.
I normally make videos here on YouTube about airlines, but perhaps the most amazing part of aviation are the places it can take. Places like St Helena. So, in this video about St Helena, I’m trying a little experiment: Let’s check out some things on the ground in St Helena! We’ll explore some of the highlights of St. Helena and some of what I enjoyed while I was here. Let me know what you think about this experiment by leaving comments. I always appreciate feedback! And next week, I’ll post a more typical video about my return to the mainland.
St. Helena is home to epic history, out-of-this-world scenery, and incredible opportunities for intreprid travelers.
We’ll explore the infamous Jacobs Ladder, Napoleon’s two residences on St. Helena, some of the hiking available on the island, as well as some of the most amazing vistas.
This is my first attempt at a video about something unrelated to aviation, so I’d appreciate your feedback. I think it’s probably fair to say I need to expand my coverage of things like accomodations and food if I continue with this. Also, maybe I’ll do this on a separate channel. Anyway, let me know what you think of this first attempt. And, also, let me know if you’re heading to St. Helena once we can all travel again!
