Soufrière

Soufrière refers to a type of volcanic feature or a specific volcano, particularly found in the Caribbean. The term originates from the French word for "sulfur," reflecting the sulfur emissions common in these areas. Notable Soufrière locations include Soufrière Hills on Montserrat and Soufrière Volcano on Saint Lucia, both of which are active volcanoes known for their geothermal activity and potential eruptions. These regions often exhibit hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots, attracting visitors due to their unique geological features. Understanding Soufrière is essential for appreciating volcanic dynamics and the natural landscape of these islands.
