Description
View over Cruz Bay Harbor on Saint John. U.S. Virgin Islands !
The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) consist of the main islands of Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas, along with the much smaller but historically distinct Water Island, and many other surrounding minor islands. The total land area of the territory is 133.73 square miles (346.4 km2).[3] The territory's capital is Charlotte Amalie on the island of Saint Thomas.
When the Virgin Islands were discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, on his second voyage, they were named by him for Saint Ursula and her 11'000 virgin followers, after a well-known European legend !
