Sharpen your geography skills and get ready to ace this quiz!

The Caribbean has groups of islands within the group that it is. Not only that, there are also stand alone islands like St. Lucia that are known for their twin peaks.

Regardless of the islands' background, they're all beautiful and have something special that makes them unique. Do you think you know enough about these islands to get all our questions correct?
