Inagua

Inagua lies at the southern end of the Bahamas, north of Cuba and Hispaniola. Great Inagua is a low island with extensive salt lakes and ponds, while Little Inagua lies to its northeast. The name is of apparent Lucayan origin. By the beginning of the nineteenth century settlers had come to Great Inagua to collect salt, using the sun and wind to concentrate the brine in shallow ponds.
