An aerial view of White Island, New Zealand
Sara Sylvester took this photo of New Zealand's White Island in early February. The island is about 180 miles south of Auckland, off New Zealand's eastern coast. The uninhabited island is home to an active volcano.
"Flying over the water and approaching an active volcano was surreal and knowing that we were going to land on the volcano and walk around it was very exciting," Sylvester told TODAY.com
"While on the tour, we saw bubbling mud, a crater lake, an abandoned sulfur mine that closed in the 1930's, brilliant yellow and orange sulfur crystals and steam vents," Sylvester said. "It was a once in a lifetime adventure!"?
Several companies offer tours, including White Island Tours and Vulcan Helicopters.
