POV: British Army medic parachutes onto the island of Tristan da Cunha - one of the world's most remote communities - to help a patient with suspected hantavirus

Only 8 people have ever arrived on Tristan this way, and they all did it on Saturday! Well done! #TristandaCunha #paratroopers

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@Piquer Until now hard to even imagine beating an exhilarating helicopter ride from the Agulhas or the box to/from the barge. Extreme skydive of epic proportions! Hope all on Tristan well and in good sprits.

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@ericweinstein Agreed. Surreal

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@ericweinstein @OriginGenomics Incredible

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@Piquer @Silversea @KellyGrTDC @GO_ASHT How lucky for the passengers to have a Tristan intro from you to get excited. Magical place. Fingers crossed for good weather and a smooth landing!

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@Piquer Surreal time, between helicopters, full of positive energy but hard to describe the Agulhas departure, isn't it? An experience I'll never forget. An eerie quiet following an impossibly difficult goodbye. Incredible place and people, like nowhere else

@sweatscience @TheAtlantic @outsidemagazine @DavidEpstein @richroll A wonderful read, with a timely reflection on the best of our human condition. A great book.

Excited to share a milestone in our #TristanLandslidesproject: @volcanna & I have just installed a new weather station at 800 meters on Tristan da Cunha, the world's most remote inhabited island! 🌧️ This isn't just another weather station! 🧵

Polls have now closed on Tristan da Cunha and the counting begins! #TristandaCunha #Democracy #Islandlife #ElectionDay

@LordAshcroft big supporter of St Helena interests, more recently involved with preservation of the iconic Jacob's Ladder in the heart of Jamestown.

Visit while you can. "Lest we forget"

I would ask you to please repost the below message as I would really like as many of you to visit the Gallery before it’s closed. It’s my great pride and joy especially seeing school kids amazed at the bravery of these fantastic VCs..

A great overview of an unusual Island in the south Atlantic ocean

I am very excited to announce the candidates for the 2025 Island Council Elections - the most candidates in recent memory. Good to see that democracy is alive and well on Tristan. #TristandaCunha #IslandLife #Democracy

@Piquer @TristanAdm @KellyGrTDC @GO_ASHT Very sad, thanks for sharing

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Short lecture by Kurt Vonnegut on the 'simple shapes of stories.'

Or storytelling + data visualization + data visualization about storytelling = mind blown.

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@Rainmaker1973 First hear about this from @brianeno. Very cool. Even works with the stations on remote Saint Helena Island.

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@ericweinstein @joerogan @bryancallen Looking great, Eric!

[Neil Foster @njfoster]

@adampileUK Absolutely agreed. SHAPE is amazing, and the trainees are capable of great things.

🪜#StHelena ‘s Jacob’s ladder isn’t for the fainthearted 🇸🇭. The record ascent is 4 minutes, 40.75 seconds 🥵
