A Land of 365 Rivers and Active Volcanoes

Nicknamed "The Nature Island," Dominica boasts an incredible 365 rivers, one for each day of the year, flowing from its lush, mountainous interior. Its volcanic origins are evident in numerous hot springs and the presence of nine active volcanoes, though most are dormant or monitored.
