Abandoned Town, Soufriere Hills

Photo: Abandoned town with volcano steaming in background

Soufriere Hills Volcano overlooks an abandoned town near Montserrat in the West Indies. The regular eruptions of Soufriere Hills frequently force residents in surrounding villages to abandon their homes for safer ground, rendering much of Montserrat uninhabitable.
