Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is a British overseas territory linking three widely separated island groups in the South Atlantic Ocean. Ascension Island and Saint Helena are isolated volcanic islands, both in the tropical mid-Atlantic but separated by about 1300 km (810 mi). Tristan da Cunha is a small island group 2430 km (1510 mi) south of St. Helena. The total population of all these islands is less than 6000. In 2009 a new constitution established separate administrations for the three regions but the three together are still considered a single overseas territory. Properly speaking there are no lighthouses in these islands, but there are a number of navigation lights. Admiralty numbers are from volume D of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 113. ARLHS has no listings for these islands.
