View from the summit area of Piton des Neiges southeast. Piton de la Fournaise (2632 m) is seen 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 masses driven against the eastern slopes of the island by the tradewinds.
