Piton L'Herminier, Volcanic summit in Trois-Rivières, Guadeloupe, France.

Piton L'Herminier reaches an elevation of 973 meters within the Madeleine mountain range in the southern region of Basse-Terre island.

The mountain received its name from two 19th-century naturalists, Félix Louis L'Herminier and his son Ferdinand Joseph, who conducted research in Guadeloupe.

The mountain stands as part of a volcanic chain that includes La Madeleine at 954 meters and Dos de Cheval at 949 meters.

The hiking trail extends 4.5 kilometers through dense rainforest, requiring 3.5 to 4.5 hours to complete with an elevation gain of 300 meters.

Volcanic monitoring equipment near the peak enables scientists to track geological activity throughout the mountain range.
