Providence, Nassau and the Bahamas Bank
An aerial filming trip between Nassau, the Bahamas bank and its sandbars, the paradise islands of the Exumas.
The largest island in the Bahamas is Andros, to the west. The island of New Providence, to the east of Andros, is the site of the capital, Nassau, and accounts for two-thirds of the total population. The other major islands are Grand Bahama to the north and Inagua to the south.
Most of the islands - coral formations - are relatively flat, with some low hills, the highest of which is Mount Alvernia on Cat Island, at 63 m. The climate is tropical, moderated by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, but is regularly hit by hurricanes or tropical storms.
