     ST. KITTS AND NEVIS
==============================

The islands of St. Christopher
(popularly known as St. Kitts)
and Nevis lie in the Leeward
group in the eastern
Caribbean. St. Kitts consists
of three extinct volcanoes
linked by a sandy isthmus to
other volcanic remains in the
south. Sugar is the chief
export crop, but market
gardening and livestock
rearing are being expanded on
the steeper slopes above the
cane fields. Nevis, 3km south,
is an extinct volcano. Farming
is declining there, and
tourism is now the main source
of income.
