RN2

RN2 is a road located on Réunion Island, a French department in the Indian Ocean. It is significant because it has been directly affected by recent volcanic activity from the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. The volcano, which had been erupting since February 13, 2026, experienced a pause in activity on March 25, 2026. However, the eruption resumed on March 28, 2026, and lava flows once again descended the slopes. These flows reached RN2 on the afternoon of March 29, 2026, and subsequently reached the ocean on March 30, 2026. The eruption ceased on April 3, 2026, at 00:10 after a sudden drop in eruptive tremor. The road's vulnerability to lava flows highlights the ongoing geological activity and its impact on infrastructure and the surrounding environment.
