About St Helena:
St.
Helena Island is a remote volcanic outpost in the South Atlantic Ocean, part of the British Overseas Territory, encompassing Ascension and Tristan da Cunha islands.
Although the island is volcanic, volcanic activity is now extinct, making it an attractive but safe place to live, with some great landforms.
Some of the best aspects of living on this tropical island include the low crime rates, a great cost of living, quality lifestyle and being a part of the unique, small island community.
