The Сommonwealth of the Bahamas consists of 700 islands from which only on 30 are inhabited. Islands are located in Atlantic Ocean between Florida and Haiti.

From West coast the islands are washed by Gulf Stream and from the southeast part the warm winds constantly blow, so the temperature is very high (in the winter it’s about +15 °С, and in the summer it’s 32 °С).
The Bahamas are the part of British Commonwealth but it is independent state.
