Geography Caribbean Islands Table of Contents The Virgin Islands are an archipelago of more than 100 islands and cays (see Glossary) located about 95 kilometers east of Puerto Rico. The islands are politically divided into two units: the United States Virgin Islands on the west and the British Virgin Islands on the east. With a total area of 153 square kilometers, the British islands are slightly smaller than Washington, D.C., and fall into four groups: an archipelago of small islands that run southwest-northeast and end with Virgin Gorda on the east; a central group containing Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands; a western group that includes the island of Jost Van Dyke and surrounding smaller cays; and Anegada, forty-eight kilometers northeast of Virgin Gorda. With the exception of Anegada, all of the islands are hilly or mountainous and are volcanic in origin. Slopes are rugged and rise steeply from the sea. The highest point is Tortola's Mount Sage, at 543 meters. Bare outcroppings are common, and the islands have no permanent streams. Anegada, geologically distinct from the other islands, is a flat coral island composed of limestone. The soil on all the islands is poor, consisting mostly of brown loam of volcanic origin. Anegada has little soil at all. The British Virgin Islands' climate is tropical with a pronounced rainy season from May through November. The rain falls in short, heavy showers and averages about 125 centimeters per year. Despite the moderate rainfall, porous soils and high evaporation rates allow for only xerophytic types of vegetation, that is, plants that survive in dry, hot climates. Temperatures are fairly constant, ranging from summer maximums of 31°C to winter minimums of 20°C. Trade winds are constant, blowing from the northeast in winter and from the southeast in summer. Hurricanes strike occasionally from June to November.

Uninhabited East Caicos has a beautiful 17-mile beach on its north coast. Many beaches in the islands and cays are accessible only by boat. B ritish V irgin I slands The British Virgin Islands, about 60 miles east of Puerto Rico and less than one mile from the U.S. Virgin Islands, are a group of about 50 islands, islets and cays, most of which lie around the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Tortola, about 10 square miles, and Virgin Gorda, 8 square miles, are the largest ones. Most of them are volcanic, with exception of Anegada, a coral atoll 15 miles north of the rest of the archipelago. Other important islands are Jost Van Dyke, Norman, Peter and Beef Island, where the International Airport is located. First inhabited by Siboney indians, the islands were visited by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to America, in 1493. Spaniards looked for gold and pirates took advantage of the islands' many hidden coves. Dutch settlers arrived in the 17th century, but soon the British replaced them. Nowadays the BVI have a governor appointed by England, but their constitution allows some autonomy from UK.
