| Abstract | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a southern Caribbean archipelago consisting of one major island, seven smaller, inhabited islands in the Grenadines, and numerous other uninhabited islets and cays. Geologically and culturally, St. Vincent differs from the Grenadines. St. Vincent is a large island, forested and mountainous, heavily dependent upon agriculture, and entirely the product of volcanic activity. St. Vincent’s stratovolcano, La Soufriere (1178 m), has erupted several times since European settlement, most recently in 1979. The Grenadines consist of small, tourism- and fishery-dependent islands, which are more arid, and geologically much older and more complex. The entire archipelago is subject to a suite of natural hazards, owing to its geography, with St. Vincent particularly susceptible to volcanic hazards. |
