∙ 14y agoSituated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the region comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays. These islands, called the West Indies, generally form island arcs that delineate the eastern and northern edges of theCaribbean Sea.[4] These islands are called the West Indies because when Christopher Columbus landed here in 1492 he believed that he had reached the Indies (in Asia).

There are dozens more islands along the coast of central and south America in the same region.
The Bahamas (many islands) are also in the general area but are not considered Caribbean Islands since they are not in or bordering the Caribbean Sea
