A rare and beautiful sight! Both the Edinburgh and the Lance at anchor off Tristan last night. This only happens once a year. #Shipping #TristandaCunha #sunset #IslandLife

As we near the end of our #Landslides project Phase II, you can experience a high-res flythrough of Tristan da Cunha’s northern slopes - generated from 3,195 drone images. Visualize Dockel Gulch - a key source area of recent large #debrisflow & flooding events. #TristandaCunha

That’s a wrap! This week, Overseas Territories leaders and Ministers have made clear that we are stronger together, as we tackle illicit finance, challenges of migration, barriers to biodiversity, and more. UK bilateral trade with the Overseas Territories is about £17 billion.

Extremely honoured to swear in our new Police Sergeant Barry Thacker. Although crime rates are low in comparison to elsewhere, community policing on Tristan is essential to uphold law and order. #TristandaCunha #IslandLife #Policing Photos by©️Julia Gunther
