View from the summit area of Piton des Neiges in SE direction. Piton de la Fournaise (2632 m) is shown in the left background. The Cirque de Cilaos with the town of Cilaos appears in the centre and on the right side. The clouds moving in from the left reflect the uplift of air driven against the E slopes of the island by the tradewinds.
