DOMINICA is a single-island country in the Caribbean Sea located south of the Dominica Passage and north of the Martinique Passage. Dominica is north of Martinique and south of Guadeloupe - both are overseas regions belonging to France. Like Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica is in the middle of a curved strip of islands called the Lesser Antilles. The capital is Roseau, which has over 16,000 inhabitants. The currency is the East Caribbean Dollar, and its ISO 4217 currency code is XCD. A unique feature of Dominica is a boiling lake - specifically a flooded fumarole, or opening in the Earth's crust. The Boiling Lake of Dominica is situated west of La Plaine and about nine kilometers east of Roseau.
