There are no "real" mountains in the Bahamas. There is one "high" point, but it is a mere 206' above sea-level, hardly a mountain altho called: Mt. Alvernia. TOPOGRAPHY The Bahamas were formed as surface outcroppings of two oceanic banks, the Grand Bahama Bank and the Little Bahama Bank. The islands are for the most part low and flat, rising to a peak elevation of about 63 m (206 ft), which is Mt. Alvernia on Cat Island. The terrain is broken by lakes and mangrove swamps, and the shorelines are marked by coral reefs. You might consider studying : geography & topography.

Virtually all the Bahamian islands are surrounded by coral reefs and sand shoals. The islands are either flat or gently undulating and many are contain giant freshwater-filled sinkholes called blue holes that open to underground caves, some as much as 600 feet. The islands become more arid and less vegetated travelling south through the chain, where hardy drought-resistant scrub and cacti dominate.
