Reunion island volcano blasts ejecting lava


Saint Denis: A large volcanic eruption is reported to have occurred at Pinton de la Fournaise in the French Reunion Islands.
The severe blast was followed with a threatening flow of lava.
According to seismological analysis, the seismic activity from a source at 1-2 km depth beneath Dolomieu crater was found to have been increasing.
Moreover, there has been increased degassing process and blowups at the Dolomieu crater.
Both are like signs of a new magma intrusion at shallow depth.
According to the volcanic observatory section of the Island, the eruption has been continuing even for the third consecutive day.
Piton de la Fournaise is a World Heritage Site and considered to be one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
It is well known worldwide for its high activity. This is the third active eruption of the volcano in 2015.
According to experts, the possibility of further eruptions of the volcano cannot be ruled out.
To view the volcanic eruption safely, the local authorities have designed some ground rules and view points.
The best position to watch the phenomenon is Reunion National Park in the Island.
