Morne Trois Pitons National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (since 1997) located in the Caribbean island of Dominica. This area was established as a national park
by the Dominican government in July 1975, the first to be legally established in the country. The National Park is named after its highest mountain, Morne Trois Pitons, meaning mountain of three peaks. The park is a significant area of volcanic activity. Features within the part include the Valley of Desolation, a region of boiling mud ponds and small geysers
; the Boiling Lake
, Titou Gorge, Trafalgar Twin Falls and Emerald Pool.
Thanks so much to Gilles from Belgium who sent me this great card from his trip to Dominica!
