The '''Cameroon line''' ({{Lang-fr|Ligne du Cameroun}}, {{Lang-es|cordillera de Camerún}}) is a {{convert|1,600|km|mi|abbr=on}} chain of volcanoes.{{sfn|Burke|2001}}
It includes islands in the [[Gulf of Guinea]] and mountains that extend along the border region of eastern [[Nigeria]] and the [[Ambazonian]] region of [[Cameroon]], from [[Mount Cameroon]] on the [[Gulf of Guinea]] north and east towards [[Lake Chad]].
The islands, which span the equator, have tropical climates and are home to many unique plant and bird species.
