"Celebrating Progress & Development"
A proud Dominican wearing the national flag
On November 3rd, 1978 Dominica gained its independence from Great Britain and became an independent republic within the Commonwealth.
Dominica is famous for its tropical rainforest, and the many rivers and waterfalls which result from the high rainfall in the interior. In addition, its volcanic origins manifest themselves most noticeably in the Boiling Lake (one of the largest of its kind in the world) and many other smaller fumaroles around the island (including at least one underwater).
Moreover, it is widely acknowledged to be both one of the best dive sites and a prime whale watching location in the region (if not world).There are a number of National parks or reserves on the island. Our World Heritage Site, the 17,000 acre Morne Trois Pitons National Park contains perhaps the majority of Dominica's above-water famous sights - several crater lakes and waterfalls, including the Emerald Pool, 14 miles from Roseau.
