Quill/Boven National Park, National park with dormant volcano in Sint Eustatius, Netherlands.
The park spans two sections, featuring the 600-meter Quill volcano in the southeast and the rocky Boven hills in the northwest of Sint Eustatius.
Established in 1998 as the first national park of the Netherlands Antilles, the area includes a volcano that last erupted around 400 AD.
The St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation manages the preservation of local wildlife, including the Lesser Antillean Iguana and red-billed tropicbirds.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails that lead through different elevation zones, from coastal areas to the volcanic crater at 273 meters.
White Wall, a limestone formation on the volcano's southern slope, reveals marine sediments that were pushed upward during past volcanic activity.
