Edinburgh of the Seven Seas
[2] Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is the only major settlement of Tristan da Cunha, and contains a small port, the Administrator's residence, and the post office.It was damaged in a volcanic eruption on the island in 1961, which forced the entire population to abandon the settlement and evacuate to Calshot, Hampshire in the UK.[3] The archipelago has a wet oceanic climate under the Köppen system with mild temperatures, but consistent moderate to heavy rainfall and very limited sunshine, due to the persistent westerly winds.Sandy Point on the east coast is reputed to be the warmest and driest place on the island, being in the lee of the prevailing winds.[11] Graphic artist Rolf Weijburg produced an etch of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas[12] and other places on the island of Tristan da Cunha.
