St Lucia

Pitons volcanic nation

St Lucia is an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, part of the Lesser Antilles.

The volcanic island is known for its twin volcanic spires, the Pitons, and its history of contested French and British colonial rule—it changed hands fourteen times.

The population speaks English officially, with a French-based creole widely used.
