Virgin Islands
Is history of colonialism
Virgin Islands
Mountainous and luminously green, the Virgin Islands are about 100 in number, some governed by the United States and others by Great Britain. The bigger islands appear as soft green slopes rising dramatically out of turquoise seas; others are a bit more rocky outcroppings encircled by sparkling white-sand beaches waiting for Robinson Crusoe to call. The former den of derring-do sea commanders and pirate robbers, today many of the Virgin Islands are attacked by thousands of visitors, arriving by plane and cruise ships, with suntan lotion in hand.
