Riassunto

The British Overseas Territories of Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha, the Falkland Islands and St. Helena are all intertwined through their shared history. Tonks has photographed the people, the landscapes and the traces of the past embedded within each territory and through short texts, which combine history and anecdote, he tells the story of these remote and remarkable islands.
