UNKNOWN BEACH,  NEVIS -  17.20N, 62.45W

I think we saw Nevis back in 1998 when we were on our eclipse cruise. It's claim to fame during the eclipse was that the people on the island saw totality for a second! The umbra just brushed the island! If you blinked, you missed it. I've posted two very different samples of sand from this small island. Hopefully the people who sent me the samples can provide more information.

 

The link is to a pdf describing the geology of the island, and its geothermal potential.
