I recently spent two months on Ascension Island to do some geological mapping and rock sampling for my master thesis. I am very glad I found your website to have a look at the island some years ago.
These days the Island seems to be much greener, a lot of mexican thorn grows everywhere, which makes it hard to move through the rocks. however I really enjoyed the stay... a great place!
Best regards from Bonn, Germany!

Remember meeting you very well in Dec 79 starting 6 months on the island after school. Happy days editing the Islander and learning to dive with Chris Royal.

Great site. All the best.

I went to Ascension Island School in 1981/82, so I just missed out on being in your photos! I recognise some of the children in the photos on your site. I had a great time there, great to be reminded by your lovely photos. Please post some more!

I was on Ascension during the early 80s. I stumbled on to site by mistake, but i'm glad i did. It was truly amazing to see some of the wonderful teachers who taught me during those years. This sight has brightened my day. My father was the Late Vernon George, who was the caretaker at Two Boats School.

Great site, I spent many months over many years on Ascension while serving in the USAF, with my first visit back in 1976. What makes your site so fantastic is the chance to see what a great time all of us had while we were there, when Volcano radio was king and the clubs were our cure all. Thanks for the memories.

I was one of the charter kids from 1977 to 1979 and it was great to see some pics of the island and people from that time. I still consider those times as the best of my life.
