Alison Teal is no stranger to extreme adventures .

She practically grew up traveling the world as a real-life Tarzan Child and even won Discovery Channels Naked and Afraid survival challenge all by herself.

But the survivalist and filmmakers latest stunt landed her in hot water. Literally.

Teal paddled on her signature pink surfboard last week to the base of a sea cliff where 2,000-degree lava from Kilauea volcano is flowing into the ocean on the southeastern coastline of Hawaiis Big Island.

You know when astronauts go to space and they get this powerful awe and appreciation for the planet? It feels like that, Teal told The Huffington Post of the experience. I felt more connected to nature and the ocean than ever before.
