Somewhere very far from France

Any guess on who was buried in this tomb for 25 years? Here is a clue - the location is in the South Atlantic Ocean. Guessed it yet? Here is another clue - the person who was buried here was removed in 1840 and reburied in Paris, France. Yes, you guessed it - this is the tomb of Napoleon himself, exiled on the island of St. Helena.
Here is a link to see the cathedral where Napoleon is buried today, more fitting for a former emperor - don't you agree?
