Piton des Neiges is the highest volcano on the island of Réunion, located in the Indian Ocean. It stands at about 3,070 meters (10,070 feet) above sea level. Formed through volcanic activity over millions of years, it is now dormant, meaning it hasn't erupted recently, but still shows signs of past eruptions. The mountain features rugged peaks, lush forests, and glacial valleys, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Its prominence and scenic landscapes offer breathtaking views and diverse ecosystems, representing an important geological and ecological symbol of Réunion Island.
