The Exclusion Zone
Two thirds of the island in the south has been declared unsuitable to live due to possible future
volcanic activity and this includes an area known as the exclusion zone. Although at one time
this zone was off limits to visitors, it has recently been opened and visitors accompanied by
certified guides, can now venture in. A subtle smell of sulphur still lingers in the air and one will
be able to see, up close, the volcano’s devastation of this island.
