Morne Watt

Morne Watt, sometimes known as Watt Mountain, is a mountain in the eastern Caribbean Sea that consists of one or more stratovolcanoes. After Morne Diablotins and Morne Trois Pitons, it is Dominica's second highest mountain at 1,224 meters (4,016 feet). The Boiling Lake and Valley of Desolation thermal zones, which are the most well-known volcanic phenomena in Dominica and important tourist attractions in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, are located atop the mountain.

About 1,300 years ago, Morne Watt was the site of a massive eruption that resulted in pyroclastic flows. In 1880, a VEI-2 phreatic eruption at the Valley of Desolation thermal area dropped ash 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) away from the peak. In July 1997, there was a modest VEI-1 phreatic eruption. The 1880 and 1997 eruptions are the only ones known to have occurred in the Dominican Republic.
