St. Eustatius
A volcanic island with black sand beaches, St. Eustatius features two very different landscapes. The southeast end of the island is dominated by a dormant volcano, the Quill, full of dense forests and clouds that bring rain forest conditions, while the lower northern hills have a drier weather pattern and savannah-like vegetation and fauna.

Sea Turtle Week ends today and we are happy to announce
Leatherbacks are BACK!
Leatherback sea turtles are rare visitors to Statia's shores. The last time STENAPA witnessed their hatchlings was in 2014, 7 years ago! We were beyond excited to see them again.
Thank you Marwan Sehra and Kasper Daniel Peut for always being on the look out for baby sea turtles and giving us a call. Many thanks. Also, thanks to everyone who contributed footage.
