  • 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!
