"One of the world's most active volcanoes is at it again. Le Piton de la Fournaise, which translates to peak of the furnace, is on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. It's been spewing lava since yesterday. Reporter Emma Jacobs says that rather than running away, locals jumped in their cars and drove straight towards the erupting volcano to see it in action.
As the sun set on Wednesday night, dozens of cars snaked up the scrubby, volcanic mountainside in a dizzying series of hairpin turns. Towards the top, the road becomes a cratered, unpaved path through the red dirt and rocks left by past eruptions."
