Montserrat
Lush mountain vegetation on Montserrat, Lesser Antilles.
Before the volcanic eruptions that began in the mid-1990s, the highest point on Montserrat was Chances Peak, located in the Soufrière Hills. It reached an elevation of 3,000 feet (915 metres) before the island's landscape was dramatically altered by subsequent volcanic activity.1
