Last updated: Feb. 12th 2008 Montserrat,a small island in the Lesser Antilles is possesed by Great Britain.This island was a volcanic island, with a very mountainous terrain therefore it is high. On the island there was a volcano named "Soufriere" which was an inactive volcano for a long time until it started erupting a lot over and over recking all of the homes and trees and everything. So everyone had to flee from the island. So the government created an "exclusion zone" where people could go for short periods, and staying any longer wasn't a very good idea. So most of people migrated to other islands in the Caribbean, or Britain and Canada.
