As observed on the map, the Basse-Terre island is slightly mountainous and lush, with densely forested areas. It’s dominated by a single (still-active) volcano – La Grande Soufriere. Standing at an elevation of 4,813 ft (1,467m), it is the highest point in the Lesser Antilles.  The lowest point is the Caribbean Sea (0m). A few small rivers (streams) drain the island of Basse-Terre. Several beaches and bays fringe the island’s coastline.

With only 570 sq. km area, Grande-Terre is mostly a flat limestone-based island, possessing a few coastal mangrove swamps to the north of Point-a-Pitre. The other smaller islands are hilly and volcanic in origin.
