Volcanoes in France - Puy de Dôme

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Yes, you read that correctly: volcanoes in France.  Puy de Dôme is an active volcanic dome in the Masif Central region, close to the middle of the country.  It's less than 11,000 years old, a newborn in geological terms.  Contributor Astropote used a drone and four spotters to fly over the crater of the great dome, which is about 200 meters (650 ft) across and 90 meters (300 ft.) deep.  Puy de Dôme is now one of the major tourist destinations in south-central France.

Overview of extinct volcanoes in the Auvergne region, in the center of France.

Flight safety by 4 observers. The drone did not fly over the hikers, except us (we were at the bottom of the crater of the volcano "Puy Pariou" which has 200m in diameter and 90m deep, and on the summit of the volcano "Puy de Côme").

The famous "Puy de Dôme" culminates at the altitude of 1465m, and its latest eruption was 11000 years ago.
