4th edition Published: 01 Feb 2021 240 pages Rugged, volcanic and very remote,
the three tiny islands of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha dot the
South Atlantic like so many bits of flotsam. As Napoleon's place of exile
following the Battle of Waterloo, St Helena has gained a notoriety that assures
its place in the travel lexicon. This fully revised edition includes information
on St Helena's new airport, which makes it possible for the first time for
visitors to explore the island's natural and historic attractions without a
five-day sea voyage to get here. Hiking, fishing, snorkelling and diving are
included, plus details of marine wildlife, from whale sharks and dolphins to
groupers and soldier fish. Expert author Tricia Hayne also provides a section on
'24 hours in Cape Town', offering a brief overview of what to see and do with a
day between flights.
