The Quill, Extinct volcano in Sint Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles.
The Quill rises 601 meters above sea level, forming a cone-shaped mountain with a deep crater containing a dense tropical forest.
The volcanic formation occurred between 22,000 and 32,000 years ago, with its final eruption taking place approximately 1,600 years ago.
The Dutch settlers named this geological formation 'Kuil', meaning pit or hole, which evolved into its current name The Quill.
The Sint Eustatius National Parks Foundation maintains multiple marked trails leading to the summit and around the crater's perimeter.
The crater houses a complete rainforest ecosystem with elephant ears, tree ferns, orchids, iguanas, and Caribbean hermit crabs.
