Barbados is the easternmost island in the Caribbean. It is situated in the Lesser Antilles archipelago and lies approximately 160 km from the main chain of islands. Unlike the surrounding islands, it is not of volcanic origin – its formation is attributed to the movement of tectonic plates, which lifted the seabed.
