Nevis's Topography
On Nevis, the highest peak is Nevis Peak, with a 3,000-foot elevation. The West side of the island is home to a coconut forest, and shares a stretch of coral beaches with the north shore. At the center of St Kitts lies the dormant volcano of Mount Liamuiga, with a 4,000-foot elevation. Rugged peaks and plunging ravines characterize the central mountain range, most of which is covered with dense rainforest. The low areas are dotted with plantations, grasslands, and fruit orchards.
