Dominica 2000 Day 1:  Scott's Head, Soufriere

Scott's Head
Scott's Head is a promontory at the southern tip of Dominica, joined to the rest of the island by a narrow causeway. A trail leads up to the summit, which commands a panoramic view of the southwestern coast of Dominica.

With its view of the ocean to the west and south, Scott's Head is also said to be a good vantage point for spotting whales.

Soufriere
The town of Soufriere, on the South-West coast just north of Scott's Head, is located in a valley which contains hot springs and geothermal vents. Following the trail up the valley, we came to one of the areas where vented gases had created an extensive sulphur deposit. Rising steam could be detected at several active vents.
