Formerly known as Boggy Peak, the highest point of Antigua and Barbuda was given what new name in 2009?

On the island of Antigua is an area of hills known as the Shekerley Mountains. This small group of hills contains the summit's highest point. This was once the oddly named summit of Boggy Peak. The hills here are covered in lush green vegetation which gives the impression of a tropical rain forest.

Boggy peak has now been re-named Mount Obama in honor of President Obama and the area of hills that Mount Obama is in will be transformed into a national park and nature reserve so as to protect the area.

The highest part of the island is the area round the steep hills of these Shekerley Mountains on the south coast and along with Mount Obama there are other summits in this area over 1000 feet. These areas have steep hills of ancient volcanic formation.
