Piton de la Fournaise, La Réunion
A textbook volcano on a tropical paradise island, La Réunion's stately Piton de la Fournaise offers beautiful views and excellent walking. For the best chance of a cloud-free summit, stay the night before your climb at the basic, but very amenable, Gite du Volcan, and head out early. This series of photographs was taken in September 2009.

The massive Dolomieu crater boasts an unbelievable palette of vibrant colours in the volcanic rocks that make up its crumbling walls. Brilliant reds, yellows and oranges highlight this geologist’s dream – but this is an ever changing landscape, to be treated with the greatest respect. |
