    Extractions: GEOGRAPHY: The French Overseas Department of Martinique, a volcanic and picturesque island, is the northernmost of the Windward Caribbean group. The island is noticeably more rocky than those of the Leeward group, with beaches (of fine black or white or peppered sand) surrounded by sugar, palm, banana and pineapple plantations. Christopher Columbus called it ‘the most beautiful country in the world’ and before he named it in honour of St Martin, it was called Madinina (‘island of flowers’) by the native population.

    Extractions: ESTIMATED 2000 POPULATION: Martinique is an island located in the windward group of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. It is situated between the islands of St.Lucia and Dominica and is of volcanic origin. Martinique is characterized by an indented coastline and a mountainous terrain which rises steeply from the sea. In the north the coastal cliffs are capped by a narrow dissected plain. Mt. Pelee is the country's highest point and is a dormant volcano which erupted in 1902 killing 26,000 people. Major Cities (pop. est.); Fort-de-France 100,100, Le Lamentin 30,000, Schoelcher 19,800, Sainte-Marie 19,700 (1990). Land Use; forested 44%, pastures 17%, agricultural-cultivated 16%, other 23% (1993). CLIMATE: Martinique has a tropical climate with relative humidity ranging from 77 to 85% all year. There is a wet season between July to November and the southern area of the island tends to be drier while December to May are generally the cooler and drier months. Average temperature ranges in Fort de France are from 21 to 29 degrees Celsius (70 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit) between January and March to 23 to 31 degrees Celsius (73 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit) between June and October. PEOPLE: The principal ethnic majority are the Mulattoes who account for around 98% of the population and are of mixed African and European descent or mixed African and European and Indian descent. The remainder are Beke and French.

    Extractions: Martinique, in the Windward Islands, is one of the more unique islands in the Caribbean, both geographically and culturally. For one, it stands at the confluence of two major bodies of water, with the Atlantic Ocean to the north and east and the Caribbean Sea to the south and west. As a result, this tiny, 420 square mile island has two sets of completely different beaches. In addition, the land here is varied, with large stretches of flat land juxtaposed with large mountains. The climate depends largely on how high up you are. If you visit the top of Mount Pelee, you would find yourself at an elevation of 4,656 feet! Even the island's "smaller" hills check in at around 1,500 feet. Christopher Columbus discovered Martinique, as he did so many other Caribbean islands, in the late 15th Century. The island's inhabitants at the time, the Carib Indians, called the island Madinina, or "island of flowers." French settlers came three decades later, and except for a short span between 1794 and 1815, when the island was under British rule, Martinique has been a French property. Josephine Bonaparte was born on Martinique, in Trois-Ilets, and a statue of her stands today in the center of Fort-de-France.

    Extractions: Reportedly, the physical beauty of the region fascinated the first Europeans who traveled to the Caribbean. These Spaniards in Columbus' ships described the Caribbean as green and fertile, cooled by the trade winds, with a climate of `perpetual spring'. The lush vegetation, types of fruits and the flora and fauna were portrayed with great enthusiasm. The Caribbean region, located in the tropics, extends in a broad arc of over 4000 km from the Bahamas in the north to Guyana and Suriname in the south. The region also includes, based on historical factors, Belize which is in Central America bordering Mexico and Guatemala. The countries are widely different in physical and population size as well as landforms and geology. Three marine geographical features, often intermixed, are evident in the sweep of the Caribbean archipelago and in the mainland territories. There is first an outer ring of mainly coral islands with white sand beaches from The Bahamas, to the Turks and Caicos, the Cayman Islands and embracing parts of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the eastern parts of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, the Grenadines, parts of Grenada, Tobago and Barbados. The second inner ring of more volcanic islands, with black sands, includes the islands of the Greater Antilles - Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The inner ring also includes St. Kitts, the western parts of Guadeloupe, Dominica, parts of St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and parts of Grenada. The third distinct feature is the alluvial coast of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana (Cayenne) on the South American mainland between the vast estuaries of the Orinoco and the Amazon.

The volcanic ash that characterizes these islands is extremely fertile. Historically, St. Kitts has produced sugar cane with yields comparable to those of high yield sugar-producing countries, like Australia and Cuba. The verdant green of the valleys in St. Vincent is an indication of the fertility of the soil in that island.
