Geography
Maïdo Réunion, Indian Ocean

The Maïdo is a volcanic peak on the island of Réunion, located above the city of Saint Paul and overlooking the "Cirque de Mafate".

The road climbing from Saint Paul to Maïdo goes through a forest of highland tamarin which is a popular area for family picnics.

The University of La Réunion has started the construction of an observation station dedicated to atmosphere measurements. The facility is expected to be operational by early 2012.
