Mont Pelée

I have chosen is Mont Pelée which is located on the island of Martinique in the West Indies. Mont Pelée means Bald Mountain. “Since the occupation of the island of Martinique by European settlers, in 1635, there are 4 records of eruptions from Mt. Pelée volcano. 2 phreatic eruptions in 1792 and 1851, then 2 magmatic eruptions in 1902 and 1929” (Past Eruptions, n.d.). Mont Pelée’s most notable eruption occurred in 1902 on May 8^th.
