Flags of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha (GIF)


Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, consisting of the island of Saint Helena, Ascension Island, and the islands group of Tristan da Cunha. Its capital is Jamestown; its total population is about 5,633 (2016); and its area is 420 km². The territory does not have its own flag, but the three administrative divisions have their own flags. All three flags consist of a blue field with the Union Jack in the canton, but they show their own coats of arms on the right. And all flags have the same height-to-width ratio of 1:2.
