Guadeloupe
The two main islands are Basse-Terre (west) and Grande-Terre (east), which form a butterfly shape as viewed from above, the two 'wings' of which are separated by the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin [ceb; fr; nl; sv], Rivière Salée and Petit Cul-de-Sac Marin [ceb; fr]. More than half of Guadeloupe's land surface consists of the 847.8 km2 (327¼ sq. mi.) Basse-Terre. The island is mountainous, containing the peaks of Mount Sans Toucher (1,354 m; 4,442 ft) and Grande Découverte (1,263 m; 4,143 ft), culminating in the active volcano La Grande Soufrière, the highest mountain peak in the Lesser Antilles with an elevation of 1,467 metres (4,813 ft). In contrast Grande-Terre is mostly flat, with rocky coasts to the north, irregular hills at the centre, mangrove at the southwest, and white sand beaches sheltered by coral reefs along the southern shore. This is where the main tourist resorts are found.
