A model of Réunion Island in flat colours outlined in black, set on a disc of moving ocean. In the south-east, the Piton de la Fournaise volcano smokes and a lava flow runs down to the sea. In the centre, the Piton des Neiges towers over the cirques of Mafate, Salazie and Cilaos. A helicopter flies over Mafate, where trail runners wearing race bibs follow a path between the hamlets. In Salazie, the Voile de la Mariée waterfall drops from a cliff. From Saint-Louis, the Cilaos road winds along the gorge up to the cirque. In the west, white sand beaches line a turquoise lagoon closed by a reef. A turtle swims at the surface there, a paraglider circles above the slopes of Saint-Leu, and offshore, a humpback whale surfaces and blows. In the north, the buildings of Saint-Denis, and cars on the coast road. In the east, a sugar cane cutter works next to a cart pulled by a pair of oxen. A green chameleon striped with orange and blue clings to a branch, white-tailed tropicbirds circle near the cliffs, and clouds drift over the peaks.
