Quick Summary

Juliana Top is the highest point in the Wilhelmina Gebergte, a mountain range in central Suriname. Reaching an elevation of 4,199 feet (1,280 meters), Juliana Top is part of the Guiana Shield, a geological formation of Precambrian granitic rock. The Wilhelmina Gebergte extends about 70 miles (113 km) and divides western Suriname from its eastern districts. The terrain transitions from coastal lowlands to grasslands, then becomes hilly and densely forested with diverse tree species and abundant wildlife. The mountain range connects to other ranges and plateaus to the north and south, forming a varied landscape within the tropical rainforest environment of Suriname.12
