Summary[edit]

Description
English: Natural-colour image of the Island of St. John island in the United States Virgin Islands.
  • The BVI are in the upper portion on the photo.
  • Settlements—marked by curving roads and light roofs—line the irregular coastline.
  • The pinpoints of white in Coral Bay are probably boats.
  • The island’s interior is carpeted with varying shades of green. Temperatures vary little throughout the year, ranging between the mid-20s to mid-30s Celsius. Although the vegetation appears lush, much of it is second-generation growth, according to the U.S. National Park Service (NPS). During the colonial period, large swaths of the island were clear-cut to accommodate sugar cane production.
