Morne aux Diables stratovolcano at the northern tip of the island of Dominica rises above beaches on the NE shore of the island near the village of Calibishie.  Several nested craters and a 90-m-high, 335-m-wide lava dome are located within a larger 1.2-km-wide crater.  The youngest, NW crater contains an active fumarolic area.  No eruptions are known in historical time.  Severe earthquake swarms in 1841 and 1893 were associated with either Morne aux Daibles or Morne Diablotins to the south.
