I expected to find a few surprises in the distinctly uncommon Island of Montserrat. Wild Montserrat donkeys, though, were not among them.

Soufriere Hills Volcano Montserrat looms large in the history of the island, but in your day-to-day life here, it doesn't factor in much.

For such a small beach, there's a lot to discover at Barton Bay, Montserrat. Truly, in all of the Caribbean, there's no other beach quite like it.

Volcano travel has come under incresed scrutiny in recent weeks, but in Montserrat Island we found that you can safely visit an active volcano.

Red Rocks Dominica is a pretty mundane name, but this feature of volcanic activity itself is an otherworldly wonder of Dominica worthy of the trip.

They don't inspire the same levels of awe and wonder as their more famous lava-variety, but a mud volcano is pretty amazing nonetheless.

The natural pools at Black Rocks make this a wonderfully uncommon spot to take a cool and refreshing dip while adventuring around St. Kitts.

If you've ever heard of St. Kitts, or were lucky enough to make a stop here, then you very likely know of the island's volcanic origins.

This most historic of Caribbean volcanoes is simply stunning from every angle.
