- It's one of the most isolated -- as well as intriguing -- places in the world. It remains a British outpost smack in the middle of nowhere, deep in the South Atlantic. And while it's difficult to get to...this is a place you definitely want to visit. Welcome to the brave...old...world of the island of St. Helena. Watch our special segment, from an upcoming edition of The Travel Detective, on PBS.
I recently visited there with my 88 year old mother, a Saint herself. This was my first visit and what struck me most apart from the scenic views, was the friendliness of the islanders and the very laid back way of life. It is isolated but if you really want to get away from it all, then this is the place for you.
Saint Helena is a truly spellbindingly pretty island to be found amidst the ocean's waters ,an asialnd having a heavenly landscape marked by stunning heights and ridges and so handsome native trees and plants! I would live for ever with such a gladness in the former house of Napoleone Buonaparte and take lovely walks every day in this so bewitching island's natural setting !!!
St Helena is on my bucket list. Nice video.
St. Helena sounds lovely
Nice view
Kudos for your presentation for the secret Gem of the South Atlantic. Maybe the SHG Department of Tourism can sponsor your video.
Peter Greenberg, you are speaking US English. Where are you from?

How is the weather on the island? When is the summer and winter seasons?
I spent 2 years on St Helena.
William Gilchrist how was it!?! And why if I can ask? I’m so curious about this place I just found out about a week ago
interesting
I need to visit, of only to meet my namesake, the oldest land animal in the world, Jonathan the tortoise.
Name of the music during fishing?
Flights come in from Cape Town; I don't think it's Jo'berg as mentioned. It just makes sense geographically.
Definitely Jo'berg - but none at the moment due to coronavirus. I'm going for 2 weeks in October so hope the situation has improved by then.
Certainly from jo burg with a fuel stop in Namibia
Saya mau tinggal di st helena jadi petani buah ...ratusan bibit unggul buah dan sayur saya bawa dari indonesia..indah menyatu dengan alam
Britain's second oldest colony? After what? Ireland is its oldest but never seems to be counted
The Eglish are from what is now norther Germany .They are a germanic folk like the germans ,the dutch ,the frisiians ,the danes ,the norwegians ,the icelanders ,the goths ,the vandals ,franks. The Irish are Celts as the Scots ,the Welsh ,the most of the toda's french *or the gausls more rightly said) ,as the spanish (or iberoclets ) as the most of the belgians and the most of the northern italians and the southern Swiss. The Germanic foilks are clever and great in many ways but the Celtic folks also are worthy folks and if you Celts wish dearly all other folks to deem you worthy you should speak and write on Celtic not on english or on late latin. As for Saint Helena it is a so wonderful island amidst the endless ocean ! I loved its wonderful landscape and native trees and plants and If I could I would love to live there forever and take daily walks in the heavenly stillness of its so spellbinding natural settng !
Bermuda is its oldest colony - most of Ireland is now free the last time I checked
2:27 the police vehicle looks like the South African Police Services vehicle.
A rather pleasant place for exile. Not exactly a convict camp with a stone quarry...
Saint Helena is indeed one of the most spellbindingly pretty island on the Earth ! I f greatly loved its heavenly landscape wiith the wonderful native trees and plants and the sight of the endless ocean's waters ! I would love to live forever in the house of Napoleone Buonaparte and take daily walks in this so breath-takingly pretty natural setting !!!!
Hyby Argentina wich os the mame famous os.st Helena.I like si much
I miss Napoleon Buenaporte
His truest name is Napoleone Buonaparte and his blood is mostly italian. I loved the island Saint Helena with its heavenly landscape and so handsome native trees and plants ! I loved his last abode there and If I could I would live there forever taking daily walks amidst the prettiest island's natural setting and amidst this heavenly ,so blissful stillness amidst the endless ocean's waters....
O e-jet da Embraer salvou o aeroporto do fracasso.
Yes Daniel, the way I understand it, the Embraer is one of the few commercial planes able to avoid the wind shear, land and take off safely.
A beautiful place that invites to silence and slowdown mode.....and then they put a completely stressfull music on this? Why??
Yes ,you are fully right ! This so spellbindingly pretty island set amidst endless ocean's waters with its heavenly landscape full of wonderful native trees and plants is worthy for befitting soudscape ! I would love to live forever in the last house of Napoleone Bupnaparte and take daily walks in the blissful stillness of this so thrilling natural setting !!!
why does this place look freezing
I don't know about the freezing, because the coldest it ever gets is in the 50s (Fahrenheit) up on the higher elevations, but it may feel cold because of the constant wind.
The warmer months are Dec to March and it is warm all year round. It is windier the higher you go but I far from cold let alone freezing.
@@bridgetthompson2068 the island is my dream destiny. I first started looking at it in 2016 when I was afraid Hillary Clinton was going to win the Presidency here in the US, and it scared me to death. I have been following the developments on Saint Helena ever since, and I agree with Peter Greenberg who produced a great video that there is no other place on Earth quite like Saint Helena, or as the Saints pronounce it, Santalena.
@@williamfulgham2010 Indeed this is one of the prettiest islands on the Earth !!! Such heavenly landscaoe full of stunning heights ,amazing natuve trees and plants !!!! I would love to live forever in the last house of Napoleone Buonaparte and take daily walks amidst the blissful stillness of this so soul-thrilling island's natural setting !!!
corona virus getaway
I wanna move here if they give me free housing.
There is no homelessness there. You can be sure someone will take you in if you have no home of your own.
Why should they give you anything? Don’t be a taker,
Ahem
Poor Boney-wasn't-a-warrior-any-more was treated with much greater respect by the Brits than the French would have accorded Wellybobs had Nappie won the Waterloo. Chop! Cheer! Next please!
1 copper for every 200 people, why so many ?
Seems funny they spent a fortune on the new airport but didn't provide modern technology.
