This is a blob map of the West Indies

Information about islands in 3 island groups

As you can see in my blob map, there are many different islands that are apart of the West Indies. These include Cuba, Haiti, Bahamas, Jamaica, and many more. These Islands are very cool and are home to many great people and many different things that help us even today. These include the things that Columbus brought back to Europe and much more.
