In October 1961 a volcano opened beside the only village on Tristan da Cunha, an island in the South Atlantic about as far from anywhere as people live, and the whole population, a little over 260 people, was taken to England. They were housed in old RAF quarters at Calshot, on Southampton Water, and found work there. A year later they held a vote on going back, and a large majority said yes. Most were home by the end of 1963, on an island with no airport, about a week by boat from Cape Town. When they rebuilt, they named their harbour Calshot Harbour, and the old quarters in England became Tristan Close. So each place now carries the other’s name: the one they were sent to, and the one they chose.
