Royal Navy surveys remote volcanic archipelago Tristan da Cunha


Royal Navy ice patrol ship HMS Protector has visited the remote South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha to conduct the first systematic survey of the British Overseas Territory since the 1970s.

Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is the main settlement on Tristan da Cunha. It was forced to evacuate its entire population to England following a volcanic eruption in 1961.
