ʻO ka mea hou loa, ua hiki mai ka pele i ka lā 9 o Dekemaba, 2010 a mau lā ʻelua. Aia ka lua pele ma loko o Réunion National Park, kahi kahua hoʻoilina honua. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona nui o nā mokupuni ʻo Vanilla.

"Ke hiamoe nei mai Dekemaba 2010," ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Piton de la fournaise ʻo ia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona nui o nā mokupuni ʻo Vanilla Ocean.

Aia i loko o ka paka aupuni, i helu ʻia ma ka hoʻoilina honua e ka UNESCO, ʻo kāna kipa ʻana, i hui pū ʻia me nā mea hoihoi o nā mokupuni ʻē aʻe he "pono e ʻike ʻia" ma ka pae honua, wahi a Viroleau.

ʻO Piton de la Fournaise, kahi lua pele pale basaltic maʻamau, aia ma ka mokupuni ʻo Farani ʻo La Réunion, ʻo ia kekahi o nā lua pele ikaika loa o ka honua. Aia ia ma kahi o ka pele pinepine akā pōkole e hoʻomaka me nā pūnāwai pele a hoʻopuka i nā kahe pele nui. No ka mea, ʻaʻole i noho ʻia nā wahi hana o ka lua pele, ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi ka pōʻino o ka pele ʻana.
