. 1Bermuda lies in the Western Atlantic Ocean some 800 miles east of North Carolina and 3,000 miles west of Europe. It consists of a group of approximately 160 closely-knit islands of which the seven largest are linked together by bridges and causeways forming "Mainland" Bermuda, roughly 22 miles long, with an average width of half to one mile. On the map, Bermuda resembles a scorpion or a fish-hook. Bermuda is the summit of a submarine volcano that exploded into life some 100 million years ago. Coral reefs almost entirely surround the islands, proving treacherous to shipping during the last three hundred years, but creating beautifully calm inshore waters for bathers, snorkellers and scuba divers as well as a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. There are no freshwater streams in Bermuda so that Bermudians are forced to rely on rainwater or, in times of drought, imported water. Every hourse on the island has a white lime-washed roof on which the rain is caught and channeled into a tank. The government and some of the larger hotels operate desalination plants. In the late 18th century the tourist, trade came to Bermuada - since when it has grown increasingly profitable and today tourism is the island's single most importan revenue earner. Bermuda is the oldest self-governing colony of Britain with the third oldest parliament in the world.
