A volcanic cone inside France's most active volcano collapsed live on camera on February fifteenth, twenty twenty six, as scientists monitoring Piton de la Fournaise confirmed what no model had predicted: a Hawaiian style effusive volcano produced pyroclastic flows for the first time in its modern recorded history. The second eruption of twenty twenty six peaked at sixty three cubic meters of molten rock per second, nearly double the January event, while eighty seven hikers were evacuated by helicopter from inside the live caldera with thirty five minutes of warning. GNSS satellite data shows the shallow magmatic reservoir is still pressurized and being fed from a deeper source, with inflation detected at both summit and far field stations simultaneously. Twenty two years of radar imaging reveal a spoon shaped fault structure connecting the active rift system directly to the sea floor, loading the eastern flank toward the Indian Ocean with every eruption cycle. The geological record of this island includes coral boulders weighing over one hundred tons deposited one hundred seventy miles away on Mauritius, the calculated product of a flank collapse generating waves up to two hundred sixty feet high. The OVPF observatory has confirmed the system is not finished. The seismicity has not returned to background. The pressure is still building.
