It is nicknamed "The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean" both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of many of its inhabitants.

The eruption, which began in July 1995, continues today on a vastly reduced scale, the damage being confined to Ply ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
