The right answer is Windward Islands. These island are a line of West Indian islands creating the southern arc of the Lesser Antilles. They lie at the eastern end of the Caribbean Sea. Its geology is volcanic, with craters, hot springs, and sulfuric vents originate in the mountainous central struts of the islands. In 1902, the eruption of Mount Pelée on Martinique was one of the most destructive natural tragedies in modern history, leaving about 30,000 people as victims.
