On the edge of the Caribbean Sea, the Virgin Islands is 140 miles northwest of St. Kitts and 40 miles east of Puerto Rico, lying closely clustered together.
These islands are considered to be part of the Lesser Antilles, though they are more geographically close to the Greater Antilles in the west. Stretching only 50 miles from west to east and 67 miles from north to south, its islands lie mostly close together, with only Anegada in the north and St. Croix in the south and relatively isolated. Only ten of the 107 members of this tropical archipelago are inhabited.
