Fagradalsfjall Volcano Iceland 4K

The morning I made the 2.5 mile hiked up to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano I had no idea what to expect. I had seen pictures and drone videos of it but it does not prepare you for witnessing lava spilling out of the Earth in person. Since I visited the site, I have a better understanding of how the volcano has changed and shifted each day. It was not what others saw before me and it is not the same today.
The day I was there, June 7, 2021, the volcano was acting like a geyser and erupting about every 7 minutes. The first time I saw it erupt it grew larger and larger and made me take a step back not knowing what it really was going to do or how big it would get. The fear of being hit by lava was a real thought for a moment in the back of my mind. After seeing a few cycles of the eruption I could see that it was fairly consistent and I could time my approach to capture it with my drone.
My Mavic 2 Pro drone did take a hit from the heat of the volcano. When returning from the last flight over the top of it I noticed the covers to the USB port and memory card slot were dangling from the drone. The heat had made the soft plastics warp and fall out of its place. Upon closer inspection I saw the sensor coverings on the bottom were also warped and other sections of the craft had softened from the heat. Was it worth it? Yes.
What I present to you is a film showing you one cycle of its eruption and a look into the center of the earth. Hopefully you will see the mesmerizing life of molten lava as I did and the beauty of the cycle of life on this planet we call home.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Fantastic video.

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

I agree but it is the internet.

@@armandomartinezphotography6773 Yep, every video I have posted, and I have posted hundreds of them, always has at least 1 thumbs down.

If someone gives their thumbs down, they are just jealous of the very nice video :)

Nice work

Wow, excellent video of this amazing event! That volcano loves to melt and eat drones, but the footage is worth it! What an amazing experience for you! Thanks for sharing!

[@kathynorton-bonthoux2030]

My pictures of the same volcano, same day do not compare with what you captured...and watching this video brought back the same adrenaline rush I got while witnessing it first hand. Well done Armando!

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

Thank you Kathy!

[@williamlloyd3769]

These shots are assume! Fantastic overview. As dramatic as any CG shot I’ve seen of eruption

[@anthonylazzari7463]

Amazing images, thanks for putting this together.

[@caladito]

Goog work! Beautiful land !

[@zed4225]

Sorry for drone damage, but like you I agree, it was worth it. Quality was aweome. What a ride watching this volcano has been. Wiah I was there. Thanks for sharing with us x

[@petergaulhofer7895]

incredible, stunning, excellent quality this video. Once in a lifetime?

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

Once in a lifetime indeed. Thank you!

[@andibalsam]

Great Video! I was there the same day, but the drone perspective makes a big difference of course ;-)

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

Yes it does! But standing there and watching it was impressive too.

[@aureliotorrisi4980]

Wonderful !

[@SpellCaster17]

This is amazing footage! So sorry to hear about the damage to the drone but I think in the end it was worth it because of this amazing footage you captured. Thank You for your time and effort you put into this amazing video! I can only imagine that pictures and video don’t convey the magnitude and splendor of the eruption and to see it first hand is stunning. I’ve been places that do the same thing and although it’s sunning in video, nothing compares to actually see it first hand. Again, Thank You for your time and effort to bring this video. It’s absolutely amazing and beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

Thank you very much! 🙏

[@DrewJMcGee]

Really well done mate! Great captures and editing!

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

Thank you!

[@AlexMcNaught]

Very cool.. hope the Mavic gets to fly another day!

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

It still flies today. Soon though, it will need a refresh.

[@jp-um2fr]

A few seconds of that would power my house for many, many years. All that lovely CO2 as well.

[@armandomartinezphotography6773]

Can you imagine having that kind of energy available to use? The locals do get to use the thermal energy to heat thier water and houses.

在偏远地区发生的火山喷发并不是坏事，它可以释放地下的压力，避免大型地震的发生。
