Guadeloupe, group of islands, overseas department of France, in the French West Indies, off the northwestern coast of South America, in the eastern Caribbean Sea. The two principal islands—separated by the Salle River, a narrow arm of the Caribbean Sea—are Basse-Terre on the west and Grande-Terre on the east. Nearby island dependencies are Marie-Galante, La Desirade, and Les Saintes; the other dependencies, Saint-Barthelemy and Saint Martin, are located 250 km (155 mi) to the northwest. Basse-Terre is the most mountainous of the islands and contains the highest point, Soufriare (1,467 m/ 4,813 ft), an active volcano. The population of Guadeloupe (2000 estimate) was 425,317, yielding an average density of 249 persons per sq km (646 per sq mi). The population is composed mainly of blacks and mulattoes and a small minority of Europeans, primarily descendants of Breton and Norman colonists. Basse-Terre, the capital of Guadeloupe, is located on the island of Basse-Terre and had a population of 14,107 in 1990. The chief town on Grande-Terre, and principal port of the department, is Pointe-a-Pitre (1990 estimate, 26,000).
