Ile de la Réunion: Piton de la Fournaise

This is also a special card. It arrived some days ago from Réunion. It is a French island with a population of 840,974 inhabitants (as of January 2013) located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, about 200 kilometres (120 mi) southwest of Mauritius. The card shows Piton de la Fournaise. It's one of the most active volcanos of the world and has erupted back in may 2015. 





Stamp:
Les îles françaises - La Réunion (from a set of six) - Issued: 01-07-2013



Many thanks to Alex for this great card!
