Piton des Feux à Mauzac, Volcanic summit in Piton de la Fournaise massif, Reunion Island, France.
Piton des Feux à Mauzac rises to 2,384 meters above sea level between the East River rampart and Remparts River in the French department of Reunion.
The site received its name from a maroon chief who lit fires at the summit in the early 19th century to gather his companions.
A memorial stone honors Josémont Lauret, a local porter who died at this location, marking the significance of porters in Reunion Island's history.
The GR R2 hiking trail and the Volcano Forest Road provide access to the summit, located within the municipality of Le Tampon.
The crater of Piton des Feux transforms into a temporary lake during heavy rainfall, creating a natural phenomenon in the volcanic landscape.
