These are images from the largest lave lake in the world inside an active volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We can get really close to the Nyiragongo Volcano and take a look straight into its bubbling red heart in a series of photographs that are truly spectacular.
They were taken using a drone – with one daredevil photographer hiking to the top to capture the images.

It’s allowing us to gain new perspectives on places that have existed for hundreds, even thousands of years. Which is pretty amazing, as these images from AirPano show.

The PD-100 Black Hornet 2 is a high-tech camera drone that’s currently being tested by the US military. Unlike consumer drones used by photographers, such as the DJI Phantom or Inspire, the PD-100 is designed to be extremely stealthy: it fits in the palm of your hand, and weighs just 18 grams — about the same as 3 to 4 sheets of ordinary printer paper. Oh, and they cost $40,000 each.
