Morne du Col, Volcanic summit in Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe.
Morne du Col reaches an elevation of 1281 meters within the mountainous region of Basse-Terre, featuring steep slopes covered in dense tropical vegetation.
The mountain flanks have provided water resources through the Petite Rivière de la Capesterre to local communities since the early settlement periods.
The summit functions as a natural boundary between Saint-Claude and Capesterre-Belle-Eau municipalities, shaping the regional identity of local populations.
