Abstract
In the remote tropical waters of the mid‐South Atlantic stands a vast and ancient volcano some 5000 metres high. Only the tip, worn over 14 million years into an 830 metre craggy pimple, rises out of the ocean, violently eroded into dinosaur‐back peaks and vertiginous gullies, and surrounded by near impregnable sea cliffs of red cinder and blue‐grey magma. The nearest landfall 1200 miles to the east is Angola, and 2000 miles to the west, Brazil. This is Joe Hollins’ patch – 47 square miles of convulsed igneous rock: the island of St Helena
