Reunion Island is one of the youngest islands in the world, with only three million years. It has not yet finished its evolution and the South of the island still lives at the rhythm of it’s friendly Volcano eruptions.

With over a hundred eruptions recorded since the beginning of the century, the Piton de la Fournaise, culminating at an altitude of 2,631 meters, is considered as one of the most active volcanoes on the planet.
