DCF is the airport code for Canefield Airport, one of the two airports on Dominica, a small, mountainous island in the eastern Caribbean known as the Nature Island. Canefield lies on the west coast just north of the capital, Roseau, and handles smaller aircraft, while the island's larger Douglas-Charles Airport is on the northeast coast. Dominica is quite different from the beach-resort islands of the Caribbean: it is wild and green, covered in rainforest and volcanic peaks, with rivers, waterfalls, hot springs and the famous Boiling Lake, a bubbling volcanic lake. It offers superb hiking, including the long Waitukubuli National Trail, along with diving and whale watching offshore. Dominica is reached by flights into its airports, often via other Caribbean islands, and by sea. The climate is warm and tropical, with a wet season and a risk of hurricanes later in the year.
