Piton des Neiges, La Réunion
Top of the Island at 3070m. I started in Cilaos at Le Bloc. The trail is about 16km with an elevation gain of 1700m.
Piton des Neiges is an extinct volcano.
The calderas surrounding it are the collapsed magma chambers of the volcano. Today, they form the three famous cirques of La Réunion: Mafate, Salazie, and Cilaos. This video shows just one of the three cirques: Cilaos.
When you think about it, it's pretty incredible just how enormous these geological features are.
