Description
St Helena is one of the most remote, and yet most famous, islands in the world—it was the final place of exile for Napoleon Bonaparte until his death in 1821. The island remains a place of mystery as a unique colonial survivor, with the island’s inhabitants still dependent on the support of the British government.
