Montserrat

Where the mountains are taller, the people are friendlier, and the rum is stronger.

Montserrat: Land of the calypso, where the beat of the drums is stronger than the force of the hurricanes.

Montserrat: Home of the flying fish, where the only thing bigger than the sea creatures is the hearts of the islanders.

Montserrat is known as the "Emerald Isle of the Caribbean" because of its resemblance to coastal Ireland and its many residents of Irish descent.

The capital, Plymouth, is a modern-day Pompeii, buried by volcanic ash and officially abandoned in 1997.
