There are only a few effusive active volcanoes in the world . In fact, these volcanoes, called "red volcanoes" present a cinematographic interest, because their eruptions are generally followed by very spectacular great fluid lava flows .
Piton de la Fournaise of La Réunion is a "red volcano" like the volcanoes of Hawaii . It erupts almost every year.
