Spanish for Bird Island, this remote tiny Caribbean
island lies west of the Leeward Islands chain 70 miles west of Dominica and 115
miles southwest of Montserrat. Only 375 meters long and 10 meters wide at the
narrowest point, it rises only four meters above sea level. Because of this
navigational danger, several ships have wrecked nearby. The island is a heaven
for birds and green sea turtles, but is in substantial danger from erosion
caused by rising sea levels. During some hurricanes, the island is completely
submerged.
