The shield volcano Piton de la Fournaise (island of La Réunion) is one of the most active volcanoes worldwide. This photo shows 20-30 m high lava fountains and the associated flows just one and a half hour after the sudden onset of a fissure eruption along the slope heading from the main crater, Cratère Dolomieu, down to the caldera Enclos Fouqué.
