The distinctive Twin Pitons, seen here from the sea, are the national symbol of Saint Lucia. The Pitons are two mountainous volcanic plugs (created when magma hardens within a vent on an active volcano). Gros Piton is 798 m (2,619 ft) high and Petit Piton is 743 m (2,438 ft) high; both are located near the town of Soufriere, Saint Lucia. The Twin Pitons were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004. Photo courtesy of NOAA / Anthony R. Picciolo.

Sulfur Springs is billed as the world's only drive-in volcano. The two boxes house monitoring devices that keep track of seismic activity.
Pigeon Island is a former islet (180,000 sq m; 44 acres) off the north point of Saint Lucia joined to the mainland in 1972 by a man-made causeway - built from the town of Gros Islet with soil excavated to form the Rodney Bay Marina. This view is from the top of Pigeon Island looking back toward the causeway and the main island.
