GEOGRAPHY
The Virgin Islands are made up of seven main islands, and more than 90 islets and cays. The islands are located in between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east of Puerto Rico. Our climate is subtropical but we have low humidity! You will hardly ever see a cloudy day coming your way! The virgin islands themselves are peaks of submerged mountains that rise from a submarine plateau.Of the 36 British islands 16 are inhabited, most of our islands only rise a few hundred feet above sea level.(Evans)
