Bald Mountain

MARTINIQUE
Mount Pelee (or "Bald Mountain") is a dormant volcano on the northern tip of the island of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles island arc of the Caribbean Sea. It is among the deadliest stratovolcanos on Earth, with its volcanic cone composed of layers of volcanic ash and hardened lava. Mount Pelee is famous for its extremely destructive eruption in 1902 and the devastation that resulted, now called by many the worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the West Indies.
