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.
