Montserrat

Montserrat is a British overseas territory situated in the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean.

In 1995 the Sanfrière Hills volcano erupted and two thirds of the population had to flee.  The former capital, Plymouth, was severely affected and a new capital is being constructed. Meanwhile Brades in the NW of the island is the de facto capital.

The southern end of the island is still an Exclusion Zone and permission is required before it is possible to enter.
