Lava from the Piton de la Fournaise volcano has flowed across the RN2 coastal road near Sainte-Rose, cutting the island’s main national road in two after two lava streams spread through nearby forest areas early this morning, March 13. The eruption occurred on the eastern side of Reunion, where Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, regularly releases fast-moving basaltic lava from its broad shield slopes. Rising about 8,635 feet above sea level and covering nearly a third of the island, the 500,000-year-old volcano, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2010, typically erupts around once a year, sending lava down the slopes of its caldera and occasionally across nearby roads. Iceland’s Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach Disappears After Dramatic Coastal Collapse; Here’s What Triggered It.
