La Grande Soufriere Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe Last Updated: 03/03/2023 |
| La Grande Soufrière is a volcano located on the island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the Lesser Antilles and has erupted several times in recorded history. The last major eruption occurred in 1976, and there have been smaller eruptions and seismic activity since then. | |
| The volcano is located in the Guadeloupe National Park, which is a popular destination for tourists and hikers. Visitors can hike up to the crater rim of La Grande Soufrière and witness the steam vents, sulfur springs, and other volcanic activity. Due to its active status, the volcano is closely monitored by the authorities in Guadeloupe, and there are contingency plans in place in case of a major eruption. In 2020, the volcano experienced a significant increase in seismic activity, prompting the authorities to raise the alert level and evacuate nearby communities. However, no major eruption occurred, and the alert level was eventually lowered. Despite its active status, La Grande Soufrière is an important part of the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Guadeloupe. | |
