Mount Pelée is an active volcano at the northern end of the island and French overseas department of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles island arc of the Caribbean. It is among the deadliest stratovolcanoes on Earth. Its volcanic cone is composed of layers of volcanic ash and hardened lava.
The volcano is famous for its eruption in 1902 and the destruction that resulted, dubbed the worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century. The eruption killed about 30,000 people. Most deaths were caused by pyroclastic flows and occurred in the city of Saint-Pierre, which was, at that time, the largest city on the island.

Diamond Rock is a basalt island that gets its name from the reflections that its sides cast at certain times during the day. The rock island is 574 feet tall (175 m) and juts out of the ocean not far from the southern end of Martinique.
Diamond Rock is also known for its strategic positioning between the St. Lucia Straits. The English and French fought over the rock in the early 1800's. In 1805 Napoleon ordered Admiral Villeneuve to capture the rock. He arrived on May 31 and withstood withering fire until the British on top of the island surrendered due to lack of water.

Fort Saint Louis was completed in 1672 by the French colonists. The fort saw its first major action two years later when a Dutch fleet attacked the fort for three days. In 1759 the British captured the fort and renamed it Fort Edward. After the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the fort was returned to the French only to be captured again by the British in 1794 and 1809.
