Martinique. Climbing Mount Pelée, the Caribbean's Deadliest Volcano.

I Climbed Mount Pelée, the Caribbean's Deadliest Volcano! Welcome back! This time we're exploring the stunning Caribbean island of Martinique, a tropical paradise that hides Mount Pelée, responsible for one of the deadliest volcanic disasters in history. While Kitti attends her Erasmus course, I set off to explore the island, from the bustling streets of Fort-de-France to the slopes of Mount Pelée, the volcano responsible for the destruction of Saint-Pierre in 1902. The climb turned out to be far tougher than expected, with steep jungle trails, cloud-covered summits, extreme humidity and a few moments where I questioned my life choices! Along the way we discover why Martinique is technically part of France, visit places connected to Napoleon's wife Josephine, and explore the remains of a town wiped out in less than 90 seconds by a devastating pyroclastic flow. Join me for volcanoes, Caribbean scenery, fascinating history, scooter adventures and plenty of accidental suffering in tropical heat. 00:00 Paradise, Delays & First Impressions ✈️🌴 02:58 Exploring Fort-de-France 🇫🇷 05:24 Why Martinique Is Unlike Any Caribbean Island 🌋 08:35 Climbing Mount Pelée - The World's Deadliest Volcano 🥵 16:40 The Disaster That Destroyed Saint-Pierre 💥 19:05 Martinique's Famous Instagram Beach 🏖️ 📍 Locations featured: Fort-de-France Mount Pelée (Montagne Pelée) Saint-Pierre Les Salines Beach Martinique, French Caribbean If you enjoyed the video, please like, subscribe and leave a comment.
