Just saw this news report I thought I would share with you all.

Last month volcano monitoring staff used a drone, or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) to collect water samples from Whakaari/White Island’s Crater Lake, enabling the team to take the pulse of the volcano in a unique way.

Sorry RHP it is not. If you read the article you will see the lake temperature is around 60 - 70 C, certainly not cool!
Go on, if I hadn't said it someone would have done!
