La Soufriere volcano is 4,000 feet above sea level at it's crater and has erupted twice in recent times; the most serious eruption in 1902 killed 2,000 people and again in 1979 (with no loss of life). 
Carib Indians prevented St Vincent from being settled until 18th Century. Ownership of Saint Vincent passed between the British and French and then back to the British in 1763. St Vincent and the grenadines gained full independence from Britain in 1979.

Today the island is a popular tourist destination, particularly with sailors who come in vast numbers to explore the grenadine islands. The most well known is Mustique for it's famous residents and opulent private villas. St Vincent can be reached from Europe and North America via local connecting flights in Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia and Trinidad.
