Morne Diablotins

The tallest mountain in Dominica, an island republic in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles, is Morne Diablotins. After Guadeloupe's La Grande Soufrière, it is the second highest mountain in the Lesser Antilles- a group of Caribbean islands, the majority of which are part of a long, partially volcanic island arc between the Greater Antilles to the north-west and the continent of South America. Morne Diablotins is a small hamlet in Dominica's northern interior, some 24 kilometers (15 miles) north of the capital, Roseau, and about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) southeast of Portsmouth, the island's second-largest town. The coordinates of the mountain are 15°30′12″N 61°23′50″W. Morne Diablotin National Park is home to it.

The mountain is volcanic, and the last time it erupted was approximately 30,000 years ago. There have been no known eruptions in the past. The Toulaman River's source is located in the mountains.

Morne Diablotins is the local name for the endangered black-capped petrel (Pterodroma hasitata).
