One radio ham who travels extensivey is Nigel Cawthorne G3TXF from the UK.
His comprehensive web page discusses, among many other trips, his two trips
to St. Helena (ZD7XF), a trip to Ascension (ZD8XF while on the way to St Helena)
and Pitcairn (VP6T). Each subpage has many good pictures. Go to www.g3txf.com,
select dxtrip and (for St Helena) look for links to ZD7XF for 2011 and for 2012.
 
One interesting bit of info is the beginning of construction for the new airport
on St Helena, for now reachable only by ship.

That ZD7XF website has a lot of cool photos of the island, as well as the hams who apparently live there.
