Comment
Piton de la Fournaise is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet: in terms of the frequency of new eruptions (an average of one every nine months over the last ten years), it is probably the world's most active. In terms of the average volume of lava emitted (estimated at 0.32 m3 s-1), it is around ten times less productive than Kīlauea, but comparable to Etna. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piton_de_la_Fournaise
The emitting entity is A. M. A. see :
