Helicopter Ride Over an Active Volcano

Ever seen an active volcano, up close and personal? This video (shot last week) shows Montserrat's Soufriere Hills Volcano, which began erupting in 1995 (after being dormant for almost 4000 years). 

Instead of trying to outguess the volcano, the people of Montserrat are pouring their energy into rebuilding what's left of their island and that includes touting it as a tourist destination.

Would you spend your Caribbean vacation on Montserrat?
