You step out of the minibus into steam that moves like low clouds, sulphur-scented and warm against the skin — La Soufrière doesn’t hide its volcanic mood. The guide outlines the day and the island unfolds: a coastal ribbon of fishing hamlets, the twin verticals of the Pitons rising like anchors in the sea, and the sudden hush of a waterfall that dares you to cool off.
