Features of Natural Interest

Although the eruptions of the volcano have devasted more than half the island, and adversely affected much of the important ecosystems and wildlife, the volcano itself is a major feature of natural interest, and many people visit Montserrat to view it. It is a major source of interest to research geologists.

A good view of the volcano, and some of the destruction it caused, can be had from the Volcano Observatory. © Mike Pienkowski (Features of Natural Interest, 10 of 11 - Slide ref. 427)
