Mafate

The ''Cirque de Mafate'' is a caldera on Réunion Island (France; located in the Indian Ocean). It was formed from the collapse of the large shield volcano the ''Piton des Neiges''.
The very remote and inaccessible cirque was settled in the 19th century by maroon slaves (i.e. slaves who had escaped from their masters), then later by poor white laborers. It owes its name to one maroon leader.
==Geography==
The cirque is entirely enclosed by mountains, especially tall cliffs, known as ''remparts'', save for the sole river exiting, the ''Rivière des Galets'' ("river of the pebbles"). Inside the cirque, there are considerable declivities. The ''îlets'' are pieces of more-or-less flat lands, on which the hamlets are located.
The name "Mafate" comes from the Malagasy word "Mahafaty", which means lethal, an allusion to the difficulty for accessing the Cirque.
