The nearest mainland, the west coast of Africa, is over 1,000 miles away, and the island is 1,700 miles (2,276km) from Cape Town and 4,500 miles (7,240km) from Britain. The sister island of Ascension, one of St. Helena’s two dependencies, lies 703 miles (1,131km) to the north-west, and the other, Tristan da Cunha, some 1,500 miles (2,414km) to the south-west. GEOGRAPHY St. Helena covers 47V square miles, is 10V miles long by 6/2 miles wide and rises steeply out of the sea. The highest point, Diana’s Peak, is 2,700ft above sea level. Jamestown, the capital, is at sea level. St. Helena is tropical but the climate is by no means as extreme as that suggests. It is equable and warm, but there is a noticeable difference between the drier, low-lying areas such as Jamestown and the cooler, damper cloudy uplands. Vegetation flourishes in the lush central areas. One Victorian writer likened the island to ‘an emerald, set in a ring of bronze’, and an aerial view would confirm his poetic fancy.

St. Helena has a small population that remains loyal to Britain. However, the island's dimunitive size and geopolitical insignificance has led many Islanders to accuse the British government of ignoring the island. The island's economy was a one crop economy for many years, but is now very weak, and is almost entirely sustained solely on aid from London.

The South African Military History Society Die Suid-Afrikaanse Krygshistoriese Vereniging Military History Journal - Vol 3 No 1 St Helena is a Tiny Island by J.H. Schoeman Legend has it that the last words written by a pale, thin, sickly-looking scholar in the geography class at the military school in Brienne were, 'St. Helena is a tiny island'. The student was none other than Napoleon, the man destined to make St. Helena one of the world's most famous islands. In fact it can be called 'the island of exiles'. Situated in the cold Atlantic, 1 800 miles north-west of Cape Town, it is marked on the map as a mere speck with its name underlined in red. Only eleven miles long and, at its widest, six miles across, the island has a total surface area of 44 square miles and a population of something over three thousand. It was discovered in 1502 by the Portuguese navigator, Juan de Nova Castella, on the birthday of Constantine's mother, St. Helena, after whom he named it. The navigators, constantly on the lookout for places where fresh water, vegetables and meat could be obtained, recognised the possibilities of the island, and left a number of donkeys, goats and pigs there. The first recorded person to live on the island was the unfortunate Fernandez Lopez who was left to fend for himself as well as he could eleven years after its discovery. This nobleman, having incurred disgrace for deserting his post, was condemned and punished by having his nose, ears, right hand and the little finger of his left hand cut off! He preferred this punishment to returning to his fatherland to face the ignominy that awaited him there. However, from the records it appears that he was not left entirely to the mercy of the lonely island, but was 'duly supplied with negro slaves, pigs, goats, poultry, partridges, guinea-fowls, pheasants, peacocks, vegetables, roots, fig, orange and peach trees'. If this statement is true, one wonders how, under the navigational conditions of the time, such a variety of animals was available. Four years later he was allowed to return to Portugal.

Ascension Island location map ). It is as remote as St. Helena, being almost exactly in the middle of the South Atlantic, but is a smaller island (98 sq. km [34 sq. mi.]; topographic map Ascension is volcanic in origin, but has superb white sand beaches (the sand is shell and coral sand). It is a rugged, dry, barren, and inhospitable island. Most of the surface of Ascension is covered by basalt lava flows and cinder cones ( geology of Ascension History [See also the potted history from Packer's Ascension Island Handbook Ascension was first discovered in 1501 by Juan da Nova Castella, but the discovery apparently went unrecorded, and the island was re-discovered on Ascension Day 1503 by Alfonso d'Albuquerque. Subsequently Ascension was little visited; it was too dry and barren to be of any use to the East Indies fleets. Ascension became strategically significant with the exile of Napoleon to St. Helena; the British were concerned that it could be used in any attempt to rescue Napoleon. Thus a small British naval garrison was established on the island in October 1815. By Napoleon's death in 1821 Ascension had become a victualling station and sanitarium for ships engaged in suppression of the slave trade from the West African coast. In 1823 the garrison was taken over by the Royal Marines and the island remained a naval possession ( HMS Ascension , "a Sloop of War of the smaller class") until 1922 when Ascension became a dependency of St. Helena.
