This is the magnificent moment that a daring helicopter pilot took a flight over and erupting volcano. The shots, which show the lava erupting perilously close to the helicopters cockpit, were taken above the Piton de la Fournaise, on Reunion Island. Thanks to the conditions, Lionel Ghighi, from Reunion Island, was able to get a clear view of the helicopter although also felt the heat of the eruption himself at times. Lionel said: The view was amazing and it looked like the lava was erupting just inches away from where the helicopter was flying. (Photo by Lionel Ghighi/Caters News Agency)
