Mt. Liamuiga is the only 'live' or likely to erupt again volcano in St. Kitts. It has had a number of explosive eruptions in the past, but the most recent major eruption occurred 1,600 years ago.

Yes, St. Kitts is home to a massive and prominent volcano called Mount Liamuiga (formerly known as Mount Misery). Standing at 3,792 feet (1,155 meters), it is the tallest peak in the eastern Caribbean. While it is currently considered dormant, meaning it has not erupted in historical memory (the last major activity was over 1,600 years ago), it is still classified as a potentially active volcano by geologists due to its geological youth and the presence of active fumaroles (steam vents) in its crater. In 2026, hiking to the summit of Mount Liamuiga is one of the island's most popular "adventure" excursions. The hike takes you through a dense rainforest to the edge of a half-mile-wide crater that is 1,000 feet deep. It is a strenuous, all-day trek, but the view from the "Rim" offers panoramic vistas of the neighboring islands of Statia, Saba, and Nevis on a clear day.
