Abstract
This detailed volcanological map of Plain des Sables (PdS) put in evidence the existence of three polygenetic centers (Demi Piton, Piton Chisny, and Piton Hauy) that developed in very recent times. This fact imply that PdS must be considered as one of the most active and potentially hazardous sectors of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano.
