#33: Plymouth

Before 1995, Plymouth was a tranquil town in Montserrat, embodying Caribbean serenity. However, the peace was abruptly shattered when the Soufrière Hills volcano erupted. The volcano’s awakening necessitated a mass evacuation, forcing residents to flee their homes.

Plymouth was engulfed in ash, transforming it into an abandoned ghost town. Today, it lies within an expansive exclusion zone, uninhabitable and preserved as a stark reminder of nature’s power.
