Montserrat is part of the chain of islands called the Lesser Antilles in the West Indies.
This island measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide.

Impressive views of the destruction of Plymouth can be viewed from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay, from the MVO (Montserrat Volcano Observatory) from Jack Boy Hill and from the sea.

Montserrat is nicknamed the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland, for its lush green landscape and for the Irish ancestry of its inhabitants.

Plymouth

A boat trip along the coast will reveal the lunar landscape of Plymouth.
The desolate landscape is a testimony of the magnitude and the force of the explosion of the Soufriere.
