There are nine volcanoes.

Dominica possesses nine, yet there has been no major magmatic eruption since Columbus visited the island, resulting in the best and most extensively maintained tropical rainforests on the planet. The island's youngest dated volcanic deposits are connected with the Morne Patates dome on the sides of the huge active Plat Pays Volcano, which forms the island's southwestern extremity. This was a Pelean eruption (similar to Mt. Pelee's eruptions on Martinique in 1902 and 1929), and radiocarbon dates from the block and ash deposits indicate it happened around 500 years ago. In addition, two steam explosions (phreatic activity) occurred in the Valley of Desolation in 1880 and 1997. Today, the island is characterized by frequent earthquake swarms as well as robust and broad geothermal activity. In fact, it is the most concerning of all Caribbean volcanic sites, and there is a widespread belief that it (like Montserrat before 1995) is overdue for an eruption.

Nine! The view from Morne Diablotins, the tallest peak on the island and the second highest in the Lesser Antilles, is beautiful. It's a demanding but worthwhile six-hour journey into the jungle, where you'll encounter hundreds (thousands?) of different plant and animal species. The neighboring islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique may also be viewed from the summit of this volcano, which hasn't erupted in a long time and is completely safe.
