===Caribbean islands=== {{Main|Bonaire|Sint Eustatius|Saba (island)|Caribbean Netherlands}} In the [[Lesser Antilles]] islands of the Caribbean, the territories of [[Curaçao]], [[Aruba]] and [[Sint Maarten]] have a constituent country status within the wider Kingdom of the Netherlands. Another three territories which make up the [[Caribbean Netherlands]] are designated as special municipalities. The Caribbean Netherlands have maritime borders with [[Anguilla]], [[Curaçao]], France ([[Saint Barthélemy]]), [[Saint Kitts and Nevis]], the [[United States Virgin Islands|U.S. Virgin Islands]] and [[Venezuela]].<ref name="Caribbean-Borders">{{cite web |title=Maritime boundaries of the Caribbean part of the Kingdom |url=https://english.defensie.nl/topics/hydrography/maritime-limits-and-boundaries/maritime-boundaries-of-the-caribbean-part-of-the-kingdom |publisher=Ministry of Defence |date=15 November 2017 |access-date=5 August 2020 |language=en}}</ref> The islands of the Caribbean Netherlands enjoy a tropical [[climate]] with warm weather all year round.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Biasutti |first1=Michela |last2=Sobel |first2=Adam H. |last3=Camargo |first3=Suzana J. |last4=Creyts |first4=Timothy T. |date=1 June 2012 |title=Projected changes in the physical climate of the Gulf Coast and Caribbean |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-011-0254-y |journal=Climatic Change |language=en |volume=112 |issue=3 |pages=819–845 |doi=10.1007/s10584-011-0254-y |bibcode=2012ClCh..112..819B |s2cid=8304158 |issn=1573-1480}}</ref> [[File:Kleine Bonaire-Underwater life(js).jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Underwater life of [[Klein Bonaire]]]] Within this island group: * [[Bonaire]] is part of the [[ABC islands (Leeward Antilles)|ABC islands]] within the [[Leeward Antilles]] island chain off the [[Venezuela]]n coast. The Leeward Antilles have a mixed volcanic and coral origin. * [[Saba (island)|Saba]] and [[Sint Eustatius]] are part of the [[SSS islands]] within the [[Leeward Islands]]. They are located east of [[Puerto Rico]] and the [[Virgin Islands]]. The locals (French, Spanish, [[Dutch language|Dutch]] and the locally spoken English) consider them part of the Windward Islands, although in the international English language, the [[Windward Islands]] refer to other islands further south. These two islands are of volcanic origin and hilly, leaving little ground suitable for [[agriculture]]. The highest point is [[Mount Scenery]], {{convert|887|m|ft|abbr=on}}, on [[Saba (island)|Saba]]. This is the highest point in the country and in the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands.
