A Day on Tristan Da Cunha

I was lucky enough to spend one full day on the remotest island in the world. Tristan Da Cunha is remarkably beautiful--a giant green and black volcano in the very middle of the South Atlantic. The people, one of the most isolated populations on earth, are so hospitable and friendly--I was honored to be able to meet so many of them.

Tristan da Cunha - No Place Like Home (24th October 1989)

Documentary about Tristan Da Cunha, one of the world's most isolated islands, with a population of only 300 people. Its only contact with the outside world at the time was a once a year mail boat. American producer, John Heminway travelled to the island on that boat and spent two weeks on the island. The film is a record of his journey and his experiences during his stay.

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:


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:

The City of Jamestown St Helena - to Live, Work & Explore

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

Tristan da Cunha Island 2020

Tristan da Cunha is a remote group of volcanic islands in the south Atlantic Ocean. It is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world. Tristan da Cunha is 2,400 kilometres (1,500 miles) from the nearest continental land, South Africa and 3,360 kilometres (2,090 miles) from South America.
Tristan da Cunha - World's Remotest Island Deep Into The Atlantic Ocean is comprised of only about 269 people as of 2020.Tristan da Cunha is a small island with just one village and limited resources. Immigration is necessarily tightly controlled, and there are few expatriate job opportunities..
Smack-dab in the middle of the island lies a giant volcano. But Tristan da Cunha is enticing because it offers something that no other island destination can: the most extreme isolation. Located in the south Atlantic Ocean, the 8-mile-wide British overseas territory is the most remote populated island in the world.
Tristan da Cunha, island and group of islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, about midway between southern Africa and South America. The island group is a constituent part of the British overseas territory of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha

Digital Opportunities For Ambitious Islands: Small Places Achieve Big Things [Virtual Island Summit]

Digital connectivity provides many exciting opportunities for islands – and islanders – to overcome the geographical barriers which, traditionally, have often limited potential.

This session looks at several ambitious islands and island-based businesses maximising the use of new digital technologies to grow their local economies. It also highlights how digital marketing channels can be used to showcase and promote the best of island life on-line to attract not just tourists, but also new residents and inward investment.

We will explore real examples of successful and growing island-based businesses using digital working and on-line marketing to reach and serve a global customer base. We’ll also look at the advantages businesses can gain from offering high-quality, professional jobs in island locations which offer a quality of life – and a type of life-style – which may be significantly more attractive to staff than the alternative available in urban areas.

Speakers:
•DAVID NICOL, Managing Director at NB Communication Ltd
•DAWN REPETTO, Tourism Coordinator at Government of Tristan da Cunha
•LAUREN DOUGHTON, Project Manager: Promote Shetland, NB Communication
•STEWART MORGAN, Director and Co-Founder Of Kyloe
•JOE DIGNAN, Founder of Kintechi Ltd
•ADRIAN BEGLEY, Arranmore Community Council

The Virtual Island Summit 2019 was a free and entirely online event designed to connect global islands to share their common experiences through a digital platform. Almost 5,000 islanders from 500 islands took part. Learn more:

Ascension Island – natives and aliens

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the extreme fragility of the ecosystem of Ascension Island, a UK Overseas Territory in the Atlantic. We find a unique species of shrimp that occur in tiny brackish pools and occur no where else on Earth. On other parts of the island, unique ferns and other plants are endemic to tiny niche habitats. Such localised species are very vulnerable to change. Major impact arrived in the form of an extraordinary experiment undertaken by Joseph Hooker and Charles Darwin that aimed to create an artificial rainforest to capture water from the oceanic winds. Today complete unnatural man-made forests dominate the slopes of the tallest peak and have altered the ecological landscape of the island with major impacts on the native ferns and land crabs.

Tristan da Cunha è davvero un posto isolato e remoto, anzi l'isola più remota del mondo. O il luogo più remoto, sperduto e isolato. Sì, sto scrivendo tutto questo sperando che il video venga indicizzato meglio se nella descrizione ci sono parole come isola sperduta o isola remota o arcipelago di Tristan da Cunha. O isola in mezzo all'Atlantico.
