Abstract

Geographically, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are composed of two groups of islands: the Leeward Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) and the Dutch Windward Islands (St. Maarten, which is half Dutch and half French, St. Eustatius and Saba). The Netherlands Antilles are actually two groups of islands, as the distance between the Leeward Islands and the Wind-ward Islands is over 900 km. The Leeward Islands Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao are only 80 km off the coast of Venezuela, situated in the very southwest of the curve of the Caribbean islands. The Dutch Windward islands are almost at the other side of this island curve, located 300 km east of Puerto Rico, and southeast of the Virgin Islands.
