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.

“I was thrilled to discover the guide book of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha…. [the] description was excellent and brought back a lot of memories.”
Tom Ongaro, USA
