Ascension Island is an isolated volcanic island in the equatorial
waters of the South Atlantic Ocean , around 1,600 kilometres (1,000
mi) from the coast of Africa and 2,250 kilometres (1,400 mi) from the
coast of South America, which is roughly midway between the horn of
South America and Africa. It is governed as part of the British
Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, of
which the main island, Saint Helena , is around 1,300 kilometres(800
mi) to the southeast, and the territory also includes the"remotest
populated archipelago" onearth, the sparsely populated Tristan da
Cunha archipelago some thirty degrees farther south–about half the way
to the Antarctic Circle .
The island is named after the day ofits recorded discovery, Ascension
Day , and is located at 7°56'S 14°22'W , about as far south of the
equator as tropical Venezuela is to its north. Historically, it has
played a role as an important safe haven and coaling station to
mariners and for commercial airliners during the days of international
air travel by flying boats and during World War II was an important
naval and air station, especially providing antisubmarine warfare
bases in the Battle of the Atlantic and throughout the war. Ascension
Island was garrisoned by the British Admiralty from 22 October 1815 to
1922.
The island is the location of RAF Ascension Island , which is a Royal
Air Force station with a United States Air Force presence, a European
Space Agency rocket tracking station, and the BBC WorldService
Atlantic Relay Station. The island was used extensively by the British
military during the Falklands War . Ascension Island hosts one offive
ground antennae (others are on Kwajalein Island , Diego Garcia ,
Colorado Springs and Hawaii) that assist in the operation of the
GlobalPositioning System (GPS) navigational system.
Ascension Island, as a part of the wider overseas territory of Saint
Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, does not yet have its own flag
or coat of arms. The Union Flag and Royal coat of arms of the United
Kingdom are used instead.
