A steep, densely settled volcanic island often called the 'pearl of the Comoros', its ridges terraced with clove, ylang-ylang and vanilla plantations. Waterfalls drop through remnant cloud forest around Mount Ntingui, whose summit can reveal all four islands of the archipelago on a clear day. Medieval Swahili-influenced towns dot its coast.
