This legendary island is small but its towering peaks of black volcanic rock form a dramatic backdrop to the dazzling, crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the ocean and lagoon. This aerial view of the mystical, multi-coloured island of Bora Bora, whose magic has fuelled the imaginations of many frustrated travellers, was taken with a specialised panoramic camera. It captures the range and richness of the colours that make Bora Bora so extraordinary.
