Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-10094

Cloud-draped Morne Diablotins volcano rises above the leeward coast of Dominica.  This little known volcano is the largest on Dominica and one of the largest of the Lesser Antilles.  Two coalescing lava domes form the summit of 1430-m-high Morne Diablotins, and precolumbian pyroclastic-flow aprons on the NW flank are relatively unmodified by erosion.  The sharp-topped peak in the right foreground is the Morne Espagnol (Barbers Rock) lava dome.  No historical eruptions are known from Morne Diablotins.
