Day 12: Piton de la Fournaise
Dance on the volcano
We begin our tour on Rempart de Bellecombe and from there descend about 100 meters in elevation to the Enclos Fouqué caldera. Within this caldera, smaller and larger volcanic cones pile up, all topped by Cratère Dolomieu, which we will climb in the next few hours.
In the foreground, you can see the small Formica Léo (2,218 m), which was formed during an eruption in 1753.
