This incredible up-close footage shows molten lava erupting from the Piton de la Fournaise volcano creating an impressive and now mile-long lava flow.
These images were filmed by local mountain guide Benoit Lincy who has lived there for almost five years and who ignored the warnings to stay away to take these amazing images of the molten lava flowing from the Piton de la Fournaise volcano as it erupted on the French overseas department of Reunion.
The volcano has also now resumed the eruption it had begun on Monday in spectacular fashion on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean with an impressive mile-long lava flow gushing from a fissure.
The volcano had at first become active on Monday morning at 9.48am before resuming its slumber at around 10pm the same day, but since 5pm on Tuesday it has been waking up again with an impressive lava flow now measuring some 1,600 metres (1 mile) at the time of writing.
