Location
Morne Diablotins is located within Morne Diablotin National Park. It is located in the northern interior of the island, about north of Dominica's capital Roseau and about southeast of Portsmouth, the island's second-largest town. The mountain's runoff is the source of the Toulaman River. In the Caribbean, morne is French for a "big isolated hill" or "small mountain".
Volcanic activity
Morne Diablotins has at least five lava domes, which coalesce to form the volcano's summit.
Two severe earthquake swarms in the nineteenth century (1841 and 1893) are attributed to Morne Diablotin, although it's possible they may have originated Morne aux Diables.
