Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha Essentials

This collection spans the remote British Overseas Territories of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. Highlights include Napoleon Bonaparte’s final residence at Longwood House, the 699-step Jacob’s Ladder in Jamestown, and Plantation House, home to the world’s oldest living land animal. Natural landmarks feature the man-made cloud forest of Green Mountain on Ascension Island and the volcanic pillar of Lot’s Wife. These sites represent centuries of maritime history, military fortifications, and unique biodiversity within the world’s most isolated inhabited archipelagos.
