At 4, 747 feet (1430 meters), Morne Diablotins, is the second highest peak of the Lesser Antilles after Soufriere in Guadeloupe (1467 meters). Synonyms of features appear indented below the primary name. Bathymetry shows a double-peaked lava dome (known informally as Twin Peaks) off the northern coast, truncated by a 4-km-long fault-bounded cliff. Reconnaissance chronologique des deux premieres phases d'activite volcanique en Dominique (Petites Antilles). Paper presented at the Workshop on Volcanic and Seismic Hazards in the eastern Caribbean, May 28- June 1, 2001, 57 p. The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Morne Diablotins. No historical eruptions are known, although the volcano has a youthful appearance, and activity at flank domes likely continued into the late Pleistocene and Holocene (Lindsay and others, 2005).
Eruptions, eruption precursors and related phenomena in the Lesser Antilles. Morne Trois Pitons, Dominica Morne Trois Pitons are three volcanoes (Morne Watt, Morne aux Diables and Morne Plat Pays) located in the southern region of the country. Severe earthquake swarms in 1841 and 1893 were associated with either Morne aux Diables or Morne Diablotins to the south. Lindsay J M, Smith A L, Roobol M J, Stasiuk M V, 2005.
Shepherd J B, 2001. Within the depression, a 'Cold Soufrière' is evident with hydrothermally altered rocks and many small bubbling pools. Morne aux Diables is the northermost of the nine volcanic centers on the island of Dominica (Lindsay and others, 2005) (figure 1). 2012 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, San Francisco, CA (URL: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/eposterss/eposter/v53e-2879/).

A complex of at least five coalescing lava domes forms the broad summit, and other domes are found to the SE. Clicking on the small images will load the full 300 dpi map.

A chain of lava domes, two of which form a peninsula on the SW flank, form an E-W belt across the S flank. Very small-scale maps (such as world maps) are not included. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 10,000 years ago, information might be found on the There is no Deformation History data available for Morne Diablotins.There is no Emissions History data available for Morne Diablotins.The maps shown below have been scanned from the GVP map archives and include the volcano on this page. Pre-Columbian block-and-ash flow aprons on the NW flank are relatively unmodified by erosion. Severe earthquake swarms in 1841 and 1893 originated either from Morne Diablotins or Morne aux Diables to the N. The following references have all been used during the compilation of data for this volcano, it is not a comprehensive bibliography.Bellon H, 1988. This northern coastline terminating the N end of the Morne aux Diables complex forms a linear cliff that may represent a fault.The VT series reached a peak in December 2009, with many events felt by villagers on the flanks of the volcano, but earthquake activity afterwards gradually been diminishing. Click on the index link or scroll down to read the reports.Morne aux Diables is the northermost of the nine volcanic centers on the island of Dominica (Lindsay and others, 2005) (figure 1). Beginning in December 2010, VT earthquakes exhibited a gradual shallowing with time (a few approaching 1 km depth), indicating that they are related to a vertical re adjustment of the stresses below the volcano, most likely caused by magma movement (Watts and others, 2012b).Roobol, M.J., and Smith, A.L., 2004a. Volcanoes of the eastern Caribbean: past activity and future hazards. Robert Watts, at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Seismic Research Centre, reported that the volcano remains quiet, though with noteworthy seismicity in 2009 and 2010.Watts, and Lindsay and others (2005), reported that in 2002 SeaBeam bathymetry highlighted a double peaked lava dome (known informally as Twin Peaks) on the sea floor a few kilometers off the northern coastline of Dominica. The maps database originated over 30 years ago, but was only recently updated and connected to our main database.

In some cases additional feature type, elevation, or location details are provided.Morne Diablotins, in northern Dominica, is the largest and highest on Dominica and the second highest peak of the Lesser Antilles.
