Ascension Island, The South Atlantic Adventure
Ascension Island is a fascinating destination that lies well off the beaten track for most.
Initial impressions, visually at least, is a charred, volcanic outcrop, not particularly appealing. Scratch beneath the surface and you will find a thriving social scene among the 1000 or so residents, challenging Letter Box walks across the barren peaks, the giant green turtles that make the amazing swim from Brazil just to lay their eggs and the reasons why this tiny island has been so important in world events. |
