   Summary Author:  Christian Holveck

    Piton de la Fournaise on  Reunion Island in the western Indian
   Ocean is one of the most active  shield volcanoes in the world.
   During its last  eruption, from December 22, 2021, to January 17,
   2022, very fluid lava flows were observed, the longest being more than
   1.3 miles (2 km) in length. Fortunately, this fiery flow was confined
   to the summit region, which is completely uninhabited. Bottom photo
   shows a closeup view.  Photos taken in January 2022.
