About Dominica. The Country's Topography
The Commonwealth of Dominica is situated in the Lesser Antilles, lying between the two French islands of Guadeloupe to the North and Martinique to the south. It is not to be confused with the Dominican Republic. The island is 29 miles long and 16 miles wide with an area of 298 square miles. Dominica is commonly referred to as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean” because of the many natural attractions found on every part of the island - cascading waterfalls, lovely mountain peaks, 365 rivers (one for every day of the year), the second largest boiling lake in the world, sparkling flora, sulphur springs and beautiful beaches.
Dominica is usually referred to as having the most friendly and hospitable people in the world. The majority of the people are of African descent. The island is home to approximately 3,500 Carib Indians who live in a territory called “The Carib Territory”. These Caribs are direct descendants of Dominica's and the Caribbean’s first settlers. They are noted for crafting the finest baskets, which are sold as souvenir items.
Dominica has two cities – Roseau and Portsmouth. Roseau, which is situated in the south-west, is the capital of Dominica.
