Avril 2007, le piton de la Fournaise, � La R�union, affirme sa r�putation d'�difice fantasque en d�versant des dizaines de millions de m�tres cubes de lave. Cette ��ruption du si�cle�, marqu�e par l'effondrement du crat�re Dolomieu, n'a toutefois pas le caract�re catastrophique de l'�ruption de la montagne Pel�e en 1902, qui d�truisit la ville de Saint-Pierre � la Martinique, ni de la crise de la Soufri�re de Guadeloupe en 1976.De la R�union aux Antilles, en passant par la Polyn�sie et les Terres Australes, la France d'outre-mer se caract�rise par un volcanisme plus ou moins actif. Les �difices diff�rent selon qu'ils surgissent sur les continents, sur les �les ou au milieu des oc�ans.Ce guide consacr� aux volcans, petits ou grands, actifs ou non, r�unit tous les sites pr�sentant un int�r�t g�ologique. Il est parsem� de r�cits et documents historiques, d'une multitude de photos r�centes et de cartes. L'ouvrage invite le lecteur � parcourir � pied, ou par la force de l'imagination, les paysages actuels de la France d'outre-mer en suivant les traces des grands explorateurs.

About the Author

Pascal Richet, g�ophysicien, se passionne depuis des lustres pour le volcanisme, s'attachant � comprendre comment la physique des magmas d�termine les diff�rents modes d'�ruptions.
