The Kaw Mountain is a 337m (1,106feet) high mountain in the commune of Roura in French Guiana, France. It is a narrow tepui with a laterite top.[2]
Kaw Mountain is covered in rainforest and is part of the northern range of the Guiana Shield. The mountain is an obstacle to the trade winds leading to a very high humidity[3] resulting in an abundance of plant- and animal life.[4] The northern streams of the mountain flow into the Angélique Creek, the southern streams feed the Kaw and Mahury River.[3]
The mountain is located near the Kaw-Roura Marshland Nature Reserve.[5] On 12 February 2010, the General Council of French Guiana voted to protect the mountain and surrounding area as the Trésor Regional Nature Reserve.[6]
