Montserrat | Destination overview
True to its Emerald Isle nickname, the lushness of this 38-square-mile pear-shaped island evokes Ireland, only with a much milder and sunnier climate. Once again, the volcanoes provide a plus. That is to say, Montserrat's soil is made super-fertile from volcanic ash tossed over the fields and meadows of fair Killarney overseas. You will see no end of tropical greenery and "bloomery" in this Irish-flavoured isle of smiles.
