St. Pierre
The city of St. Pierre, destroyed by the catastrophic eruption in 1902, is in the northwest part of Martinique, slightly southwest of Mont Pelee. This is a view from the harbour of St. Pierre with Mont Pelee in the background, as seen today. The city has regenerated to a population of 5000. The lush vegetation has grown back on Mont Pelee since the eruptions in 1902.
