Sint Eustatius: The Quill Crater Hides a 300-meter Forest

On Sint Eustatius, a Dutch-speaking island in the Caribbean, the Quill crater is 760 meters in diameter and plunges to a depth of more than 300 meters. This volcano, which has been dormant for about 1,600 years, is large enough to harbor an entire tropical forest at its base, invisible from the sea. The main trail on the Quill, maintained by the STENAPA Foundation (St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation), climbs for 1.6 kilometers before reaching the crater’s rim. The round-trip takes between one and two hours, depending on the route you choose. In this southeastern part of the island of Sint Eustatius, the vegetation changes in just a few meters.

The Quill crater rises to an elevation
