Dominica November 2005A week-long trip to the mountainous Carribean island of Dominica (pronounced "Dom-in-EEK-a"). Primary rainforest covers over two thirds of the island, making it arguably the most untouched island in the Caribbean. This is not your typical tourist's Caribbean. The best beach is accesible only by rappeling down the side of a cliff, and the loudest nightlife hotspot is 15 feet in the air, in a treehouse surrounded by the cacophony of jungle sounds.Dates of travel: Nov 18, 2005 to Nov 26, 2005 Duration of travel: 8 days Photos taken with Canon Rebel XT 350D |
Into the Valley of Desolation
The Valley of Desolation was once as lush and green as the forest around it. However, around 1880, volcanic activity in the valley increased. More and more fumaroles appeared (vents of volcanic vapors and gases). The noxious sulfur gases poisoned the once-dense forest, leaving only a scrabble of lichens, mosses, and the odd volcanic-hardy plants.
