Montserrat activity map
Montserrat is a beautiful island in the Caribbean Sea that belongs to the United Kingdom. It is known as "The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean" because of its lush green landscape and the Irish heritage of many of its people. Montserrat has a rich history and culture, but it also faces many challenges due to the ongoing volcanic activity that destroyed its capital city of Plymouth and forced many residents to leave. Montserrat is still a vibrant and resilient place, where visitors can enjoy stunning views, hiking trails, wildlife, and music. Montserrat means "serrated mountain" in Catalan, a language spoken in northeastern Spain. The name comes from the jagged shape of the mountain range that dominates the island. Montserrat is also the name of a famous monastery in Catalonia, where a statue of the Virgin Mary is venerated.
