During periods of submersion, thick layers of limestone were laid down over the old igneous and metamorphic rock. In many places, the limestone is thousands of feet thick. The country can be divided into three landform regions: the eastern mountains, the central valleys and plateaus, and the coastal plains. The highest area is that of the Blue Mountains . These eastern mountains are formed by a central ridge of metamorphic rock running northwest to southeast from which many long spurs jut to the north and south. For a distance of over 3 kilometers, the crest of the ridge exceeds 1,800 meters. The highest point is

HOME WHY JAMAICA GEOGRAPHY GEOLOGY GUIDED TOUR ... LINKS CAVING IN JAMAICA Hello, welcome to this web site. Here you can find everything you ever wanted to know about caving in Jamaica, but didn't dare to ask :-) This site is made because there is not so much information on the web about this Tropical Caver's Paradise. Indeed there are a lot of reasons to go caving in Jamaica. WHY JAMAICA? THE EXPEDITIONS GEOGRAPHY HISTOPLASMOSIS ... REBREATHERS NEW! EXPLORING THE ACHERON WITH A DIY REBREATHER (aka the Bat Rebreather) After my first visit to the St Clair cave, in January 2005, I wrote down: St Clair is about bats, bats and bats. Oh and cockroaches... It's difficult to explain what it is like, but if you have been to the movie "Batman Begins", then you will have the picture. I've never seen so much life in one place (ok maybe an ants nest, but I'm speaking about mammals). It's really like a kind of underground Serengeti. It is more than impressive. The environment is rather hostile and very demanding to equipment and people. Let's give an impression: The cave is smack in the middle of a jungle in very rough terrain. You have to carry everything on your back. There are so many bats that you have a natural phenomena they call thermoclines. Walls of heat. From one step to another, the temperature rises 2-3 degrees. This goes in different steps, from 25 degrees C to 33 and higher. Humidity is 100%. Oh, and you have to go through hip-deep water for hundreds of meters. There are also passages you have to slide through on your belly like a snake. And take into account that all these animals have to poo and you can see that the ground is covered with an immense carpet of bat guano (batshit). Ah, and some Old Bat lore: Never fly with a full bladder. So when they start to fly in the evening, it starts raining... And for the not faint of heart, the floor is covered with a living carpet of cockroaches...

Introduction Jamaica Background: Jamaica gained full independence within the British Commonwealth in 1962. Deteriorating economic conditions during the 1970s led to recurrent violence and a drop off in tourism. Elections in 1980 saw the democratic socialists voted out of office. Political violence marred elections during the 1990s.

Several sources indicate North America, but others simply state location as "West Indies" or "Carribean." If anyone has a good resource in this area and can help with my question or even just confirm an accurate definition of the continents of North and South America, I would be grateful.

GEOGRAPHY OF JAMAICA The islands of the Caribbean look like stepping stones stretching in an arc from the western end of Venezuela in South America to the peninsula of Florida in North America. The Caribbean islands are divided into two groups: The Greater Antilles: Forming the northern part of the arc are four large islands, Cuba, Hispaniola (made up of Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Jamaica and Puerto Rico. The Lesser Antilles: The eastern end of the arc consists of the smaller islands which together form the Lesser Antilles. These include the West Indian islands of St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Antigua, Montserrat (this group is called the Leeward Islands), Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Dominica (This group is called the Windward Islands), Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. The islands vary widely in size, ranging from Cuba and Hispaniola, by far the largest, to the tiny islands of the Grenadines. Those which have English as their official language and are members of the Commonwealth are usually referred to as the West Indies. The body of water bounded by these islands and the northern coast of South America is the Caribbean Sea Almost at the centre of the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica lies 150 kilometres (90 miles) south of Cuba and 160 kilometres (100 miles) west of Haiti, the two nearest countries. The closest point to Jamaica in South America is Cartagena in Colombia, a distance of 710 kilometres (445 miles) almost due south The latitude and longitude of the capital, Kingston, are about 18 degrees N and 78 degrees W.

Jamaica is the largest of the West Indian islands. It has an area of 11,424 square kilometers, and is 243 kilometers long. Jamaica is a lush tropical island in the heart of the Caribbean. The most striking physical feature of Jamaica is its mountainous nature. Nearly half the island is over 300m above sea level. The mountains of the island are located mostly on the interior and can be broken up into three main groups. The first group situated in the eastern section is composed of the Blue Mountains. They are the highest mountains in Jamaica, reaching 2,250 meters and are about 75 kilometers long. The first group is also composed of the John Crow Mountains and are the most easterly mountains of the island, running form north-west to south-east in the parish of Portland, and divide the Rio Grande valley from the east coast of the island. The third section is the western section with Dolphin Head as its center. These lush green mountains are home to a rich river network. The rivers of Jamaica generally flow north or south from the interior to the coastline, since the mountains whose slopes they start on run west to east. They are over 120 rivers in Jamaica. The largest of the rivers in Jamaica is the Black River. It is 73 kilometers long. Another popular river of the island is the Rio Grande, which has its course through some of the wildest and most beautiful scenery in the island. For these reasons, rafting on this river has become an extremely popular sporting pastime. The principal rivers of the island are listed below.
