This is a guidebook for true explorers. The south Atlantic islands of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha are isolated and therefore a fascinating destination for travellers who enjoy a completely different vacation. Their remote location has led to a host of endemic plant species and large seabird colonies, meaning the islands appeal to botanists and birdwatchers the world over. This new edition contains highly-readable background information about the island, with research supported by the St Helena Tourist Board. This unique guidebook has an exclusive appeal for hardy travellers, the wealth of information contained being geared towards wildlife enthusiasts.
