Piton de la Fournaise on Réunion erupts on average every nine months, making it one of the world's most active volcanoes. This French overseas department in the Indian Ocean spans 2,512 square kilometers and is home to about 873,000 people, blending African, Malagasy, Indian, Chinese, and European heritage into a vibrant Creole culture.
