Martinique - Monte Pelée

 
Martinique Mount Pelee, volcano on the island of Martinique, owes its name to the sorry aspect of its flanks covered with ash.

Dominating the north of its imposing mass culminating in 1 397 metres, it is part of the nine active volcanoes of the arc of the Lesser Antilles.

On May 8, 1902, a pyroclastic flow breakaway of the crater has completely destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre doing about 29 000 dead.

Currently, since the earthquake of November 2007, we can not access the summit (compulsory stop at the refuge No. 2).
