Description
Ascension is a remote volcanic island located in the South Atlantic Ocean, part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. It lies approximately 1,400 miles from the coast of Africa and is situated near the equator. The island covers an area of about 34 square miles and is known for its diverse wildlife, particularly the large population of seabirds that nest on its shores.
The island's landscape is characterized by volcanic peaks, including the flat-topped Green Mountain, which rises to 2,693 feet. The climate is tropical, with mild temperatures throughout the year and a rainy season from December to March. Ascension is home to unique flora and fauna, with some species found nowhere else in the world, making it an important area for conservation.
Ascension Island has a small population, primarily consisting of military personnel, researchers, and workers involved in telecommunications and conservation projects. The island serves as a strategic base for both military and scientific purposes due to its geographic location. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the island's historical sites.
