Adventure tourists take the art of selfies to the extreme

Forget Instagram photos of avocado on toast or selfies taken on top of Mount Eden, these selfies taken by some of the world's most extreme daredevil travellers will put your weekend snapshots to shame.

These photos were taken on some of the world's tallest buildings, at the bottom of the deepest oceans, in shark-infested waters, and even on the side of an active volcano.

This first image was taken by the pilot of a Norwegian F-16 fighter during an exercise in northern Norway.
