St Helena is only 47 sq miles in size. It is a volcanic island and has a very rugged coastline whilst been quite green and damp in the interior. The only way to reach the island is by ship because there is no airport. The ship is the RMS St Helena and it always seems to be breaking down. The island is very mountainous so it will be a bit difficult to build an airport. Besides the Napoleon Connection many Boer War prisoners where put in camps there. One liked it so much he stayed on after the war. The name for people from this island is 'Saints'.
