St. Helena: an isolated jewel in the South Atlantic Ocean
St. Helena is a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 1,900 kilometers off the west coast of the African continent, consisting of the islands of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. The main island covers an area of about 121 square kilometers and has a mountainous terrain and a mild and pleasant climate. Historically, this isolated island is famous for Napoleon Bonaparte's exile here from 1815 to 1821, and the "Longwood Estate" on the island has been designated a World Heritage Site. The economy is based on fishing, tourism and handicrafts, with tourism growing in recent years due to the opening of the first commercial airline. The island's ecosystem is unique, with a variety of endemic flora and fauna, such as the St. Helena goldenrod, and is a popular destination for nature lovers.
