Antigua\'s volcanic mountain Boggy Peak is about to be renamed.



Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer has announced that Boggy Peak, the country\'s highest mountain peak, will be renamed Mount Obama.



Mr Spencer said that was Antigua and Barbuda\'s way of paying tribute to US president-elect Barack Obama.



He informed Senator Obama of the decision in a congratulatory note.



Mr Spencer also told Mr Obama that his message of change would ignite hope and action in people of many countries that might still be passive in the face of inadequacies and injustice.
