Volcanic terrain of Saint Helena
- Saint Helena is an island lying in the South Atlantic Ocean. First discovered by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, the island became a useful stopover for ships sailing from Europe to Asia and Africa, and has also served as a prison to Napoleon!
- The island is Britain's second oldest remaining colony - now British Overseas Territory - after Bermuda.
- Saint Helena is one of the most remote islands in the world, although an airport, due to open in 2015, may change that. Tourists visit the island to see where Napoleon was imprisoned.
- Saint Helena is said to make the world's most expensive coffee!

Eneo la volkano la Saint Helena - Saint Helena ni kisiwa kilicho katika Bahari ya Atlantiki Kusini. Kisiwa hicho kiligunduliwa na Wareno mwanzoni mwa karne ya 16 na kuwa kituo muhimu cha meli zilizosafiri kutoka Ulaya hadi Asia na Afrika, na pia kilitumika kama gereza kwa Napoleon. - Kisiwa hicho ni koloni la pili la kale zaidi la Uingereza - sasa Eneo la Uingereza la Ng'ambo - baada ya Bermuda. Saint Helena ni kisiwa cha mbali zaidi duniani, ingawa uwanja wa ndege, unaotarajiwa kufunguliwa mwaka 2015, unaweza kubadilisha hilo. Watalii hutembelea kisiwa hicho ili kuona mahali ambapo Napoleon alifungwa gerezani. - Inasemekana kwamba Saint Helena hufanya kahawa ya bei ghali zaidi ulimwenguni!
