Island in S Atlantic (9)

I believe the answer is:

ascension

(Other definitions for ascension that I've seen before include "Canonises on Christ's way to heaven" , "distance in hours measured by this, right?" , "holy day" , "Canonise on the way up to heaven" , "A movement upward" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
