St. Lucia's Soufriere volcano, is a seven-acre
crater, the world's only drive-in volcanic crater. It is close
to the Pitons which are extinct volcanoes. A walk through the
crater takes you past pools of bubbling hot springs which emit
sulphur-laden steam.
There do not appear to be any houses on these
photographs. Do you have any ideas why?
Hikes into the two amazing volcanoes on St. Lucia
that are safe for exploration can be arranged but it is not recommended
that tourists go without guides because the paths are hard to
find.
(These pages will open into new windows, be sure
to close each one when you have finished with it.)
How
Stuff Works has a very clear animation
to show what happens.
Visit
Enchanted Learning Volcanoes page, print out an annotated
picture of a volcano, look up words in the volcano dictionary,
label up a volcano, take part in various volcanic activities,
or do a volcano quiz!
