#StHelena #Summer2019 #TakeMeTo
St. Helena island, part of the British Overseas Territory also encompassing Ascension and Tristan da Cunha islands, is a remote volcanic outpost in the South Atlantic Ocean. It's famous as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile and death, as commemorated by a now-empty tomb. Climbing destinations include the 699 steps of Jacob's Ladder and Diana's Peak, sheltering endemic plant and animal life.
When to visit:
Travellers often visit Jan–Mar, the warmest part of the year. The rest of the year is also generally warm, although nights can be cool Jun–Aug, especially inland. Rainy season is Apr–May and Jul–Sep. There are civic and patriotic celebrations on St. Helena Day (May 21), which commemorate the founding of the island community in 1502.
Things to do:
