Вулканы на Бас-Тере
Volcanic Wonders
Basse-Terre’s volcanic landscape is dominated by the Grande Découverte-Soufrière complex. At 1,467 meters, La Grande Soufrière is the highest peak in the Lesser Antilles and remains an active stratovolcano with visible fumaroles and sulfur vents. The surrounding terrain features ancient crater rims like Nez Cassé and secondary peaks such as Morne Carmichaël. Geothermal activity is present throughout the area, feeding the sulfurous pools of Les Bains Jaunes and the Matouba hot springs.
