Dominica is a small, mountainous island in the eastern Caribbean, between Guadeloupe and Martinique, covering about 290 square miles (750 km²). Known as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, it is wrapped in thick rainforest, cut by rushing rivers and waterfalls, and dotted with volcanic peaks, hot springs and black sand beaches.
Its most famous natural landmark is the Boiling Lake, a flooded volcanic vent where gray-blue water bubbles and steams inside Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the largest hot lakes on Earth. The highest peak, Morne Diablotin, rises about 4,747 feet (1,447 m), and the forests shelter two rare parrots found nowhere else.
Sperm whales live off the calm west coast all year, making Dominica one of the best places in the world to see them. At Champagne Reef, volcanic gas rises from the sea floor in streams of warm bubbles, and the Kalinago people, the island's Indigenous community, still live in their own territory on the east coast.
Did You Know? The purple Sisserou parrot appears on Dominica's flag, making it one of the very few national flags in the world with purple in it.
