Piton de la Fournaise's most recent eruption ended last month. The Fournaise is one of the world's most active volcanoes and below is a list of its recent eruptions (since 1998).
Before the eruption in 1998 which lasted six months there hadn't been one since 1992. Altogether there have been 300 recorded eruptions since the island was inhabited in the mid-17th century (and probably a few more that went unrecorded in my opinion).
