| Introduction to Anguilla | |
| Anguilla is the most northerly of the Leeward Islands, 146 miles (235 km) east of Puerto Rico and 6 miles (10 km) to the north of St. Martin. The name 'Anguilla' means 'eel' and well describes its long, thin shape. Its people are of mixed origins, though primarily of African descent. The island is very flat with its highest point at a little over 200 feet (70 metres). Rainfall levels are low and the resulting vegetation is mostly small trees and bush. |
