Saint Helena is a tropical island of volcanic origin in the South Atlantic Ocean, 4000 km east of
Rio de Janeiro. It is part of the
British Overseas Territory of St Helena,
Ascension and
Tristan da Cunha, which also includes
Ascension Island and the islands of Tristan da Cunha. Saint Helena measures about 16 by 8 kilometres (10 by 5 mi) and has a population of 4,255 (2008 census). It was named after
Saint Helena of Constantinople.
The island was uninhabited when discovered by the
Portuguese in 1502. One of the most remote islands in the world, it was for centuries an important stopover for ships sailing to
Europe from
Asia and
South Africa. Napoleon was imprisoned there in exile by the
British, as were
Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo (for leading a
Zulu army against
British rule) and more than 5,
000 Boers taken prisoner during the
Second Boer War.
Between 1791 and 1833, Saint Helena became the site of a series of experiments in conservation, reforestation, and attempts to boost rainfall artificially. This environmental intervention was closely linked to the conceptualization of the processes of environmental change and helped establish the roots of environmentalism.
Saint Helena is
Britain's second oldest remaining British Overseas Territory, after
Bermuda.
