Original location This scenario takes place in a real crater near the « Rosemont chapel », located on the slopes of the « Piton de la fournaise » volcano. The crater was recreated in 3D, and integrated in the simulator, allowing the lava to flow on the detailed ground. The eruption cone does not exist and was created by the simulation. |
