St Vincent & the Grenadines Quiz

An archipelago of 32 volcanic islands — home to La Soufrière, Tobago Cays, and Caribbean paradise.

About the St Vincent & the Grenadines Quiz

In April 2021, La Soufrière volcano erupted explosively for the first time in 42 years, forcing the evacuation of roughly 20,000 Vincentians and blanketing the northern third of St Vincent in ash. This 50-question quiz explores the full story of this Caribbean archipelago: its 32 islands spanning 389 square kilometres, the Grenadine gems of Bequia, Mustique, and Canouan, the Garifuna deportation of 1797, the arrowroot industry, and the Hollywood connection — Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed at Wallilabou Bay.
