Montserrat

Montserrat is a lush-mountainous island in the Caribbean Sea, located in the Leeward Islands, it is also found in the chain of islands that are sometimes called the Lesser Antilles. The Caribbean island of Montserrat was given its name by Christopher Columbus in 1493, after a mountain of the same name located in Spain. Today, Montserrat is often time cited by the nickname; The Emerald Island of the Caribbean, because the islands' large slopes are covered by lush green tropical vegetation and the connection to Ireland of many of its early settlers.
