Mount Pelée, located on the island of Martinique, was first documented by European explorers in the 17th century. However, it was not "discovered" in the traditional sense, as it was already known to the indigenous Carib population. Its most famous eruption occurred in 1902, when the volcanic activity was studied in detail by scientists, particularly by the French volcanologist Alfred Lacroix, who played a significant role in understanding its geology and eruptions.
