Because of its unique habitat and fauna, the island is of great scientific significance. Unfortunately, due to its distant position and the necessity to maintain its fragile nature, the island is no longer open to the public.
Montserrat’s Exclusion Zone, Caribbean
Montserrat’s Exclusion Zone is a one-of-a-kind Caribbean territory that has been restricted to the public since 1997. It was formed as a result of the eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, which destroyed two-thirds of the island. The Exclusion Zone is today an enthralling natural wonderland, complete with rich flora, fauna, and a variety of volcanic phenomena.
