A fisherman in the port of Saint Leu. La Réunion left the Indian ocean bottom. The first foundations of the island was formed about 67 million years ago during the last activity of the ridge of the Mascarene Basin. While entering a hotspot activity and gives rise to an enormous basaltic socket forming the current Deccan India. Much later, due to the slow drift of tectonic plates, this hot spot is going to drill the ocean floor east of Madagascar to form, first, the island of Mauritius and after the Meeting. The Meeting emerges from the waters made between two million and a half and three million years.
