La Soufriere

La Soufriere (a popular name for volcano's in this region, just check out a map of the Caribbean) is the highest point on St. Vincent at over 4,000 feet.

Apparently it shares many similarities with the infamous Mount St. Helen volcano in the US by being the same type, and less worryingly, they are the two most studied. However, seriously, the last eruption of La Soufriere was in April of 1979.

You can take a tour up the majestic slopes but this is only if you are feeling energetic! An 'expedition' to the the volcano's rim will normally involve an early morning start (it gets too warm during the day for such energetic pursuits) and a drive along the windward side of St. Vincent. You will then take a 3 mile or so foot trail and climb to the rim.
