I’ve wanted to go to Tristan da Cunha ever since I arrived in Cape Town. It’s definitely safer than some mid-Atlantic islands. However, as someone that doesn’t handle the sea too well, the several day boat journey (from just up the road) is a really big obstacle.
Still, the place looks absolutely amazing – like nowhere else on earth – and the community’s lifestyle and relationship with the sea is fascinating.
Here’s an NPR… docu-site? – I’m really not sure what to call this sort of content – all about life on the island and the people who live there.

It’s easy reading, and offers a lovely introduction to the place, with some amazing photos and videos.
