The stratovolcano rises to a height of and is the highest point on the island. There have been no eruptions since prehistory, but there are active fumaroles and hot springs on the coastal slopes of the island, and these represent low-level volcanic activity. The steeper parts of Nevis Peak are impossible to farm.
