The source of the original population is still uncertain but numerous historians consider that they belonged to a race known as (Cro-magnon). Who lived in the south west of France many thousands of years ago. Leaving their homes they made their way via Italy and North Africa. On arrival, they named the island (Tite-Roy-Gatra). The remains of a castle of one of their kings (Zonzomas) can still be seen. The Volcano may well be in excess of two million years old but its last volcanic eruption was less than 300 years ago. The landscape today retains a desolate look but is movingly striking.
