The observatory registered the spread of the magma to the surface after it recorded seismic activity on Sunday at 05:13 local time at the northern part of the volcano.

The Reunion authorities declared an emergency, forbade access to the upper part of Piton de la Fournaise and banned aircraft from landing in the area.
