🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Pelée and Calbet Mountains are of global significance for their volcanic features, eruptions and processes. The 1902-1905 eruption is considered a key event in the history of volcanology, with serious consequences for the city of Saint-Pierre and the tragic loss of many lives, the memory of which has become part of Martinique's culture. This group of sites is home to several globally threatened species, such as the Martinique volcano frog (Allobates chalcopis), the Lacepede ground snake (Erythrolamprus cursor) and the endemic Martinique oriole (Icterus bonana).
