Belfast River (Dominica)

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Belfast River is a river on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Parts of the river flow at near-boiling temperatures due to geothermal activity near the river's midpoint. The name possibly derives from the sugar plantation owned, in the late 18th century, by Waddell Cunningham and Thomas Greg, merchants in Belfast, Ireland.

Flows through: Dominica.
