EDITORS COMMENTS
Sandy Bay, St Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha: A Captivating View of Volcanic Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Sandy Bay on the island of St Helena, with the neighboring islands of Ascension and Tristan da Cunha in the distance. Dating back to the 1930s, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was less explored and the natural wonders of the South Atlantic Ocean still held a sense of mystery. The rock formations to the right of the bay are a notable feature of this scene. Known as Lot's Wife and the Three Asses' Ears, these geological marvels add intrigue and allure to the already stunning landscape. The story behind their names is rooted in biblical legend, as told in the Book of Genesis, where Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The three asses' ears are believed to represent the three hills that rise from the sea, reminding us of the islands' volcanic origins. The islands of St Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha are of volcanic origin, with their unique landscapes shaped by the forces of nature. This photograph serves as a testament to their raw, untouched beauty and the awe-inspiring power of the natural world. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and captivating allure of these islands, which continue to draw visitors from around the world to explore their wonders and uncover their stories.
