Dawn breaks over the caldera of the Piton de la Fournaise on Reunion Island. Two days after the solar eclipse that occurred in the French overseas department on 2016 September 1, the crescent Moon rises next to the Piton Partage that marks the limit of the caldera rampart. It is 5:30, and the show is ghostly and fantastic in the Fouché enclosure. Installed on the crater Formica Léo, I admire the sunrise, the lava flows covered with a layer of frost deposited by the clouds that are now gathered at the foot of the Piton de la Fournaise. The humidity, coming in from the east and from the sea 2000 meters below, licks the ramparts of the caldera beneath the moon. Very soon, the sky begins to lighten, but for several minutes more one can still observe the Milky Way rising above la Fournaise, accompanied on the right of the image by the clouds of Magellan.
