Nevis

Nevis is an island in the Caribbean, whose name is derived from an original Spanish name given by Christopher Columbus. With Saint Kitts it constitutes the nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Indeed during the last Ice age the sea level was 200 feet lower and St. Kitts and Nevis were one island with Saint Eustatius (also known as Statia) and Saba.
