STUNNING Drone Video of ICELAND VOLCANO Eruption | 4K DJI FPV

The ongoing eruption of the Icelandic Volcano Fagradalsfjall in the Geldingadalir valley was one of the most magnificent sights I have ever witnessed in my life. It is hard to put in words but this once in a lifetime drone footage may give you an idea what it feels like to be there.
In my next video I will be taking you on the ground and talk about what it's like to fly drones around a volcano and what you must look out for so you don't crash.
Talking about crashing - have you seen the epic crash into the volcano:
• EPIC DRONE CRASH into ...
Shot on DJI MAVIC 2 PRO and DJI FPV.

Wonderful views but we'd love to see some slower paced video in addition to the quick short clips. We've followed the eruption since the beginning and drones provide the best overall view of the spreading lava. Looking forward, too, to learning more about the challenges of flying close to the crater. A suggestion: attach a small high/low thermometer to the drone to record the highest temp. They weigh very little.

[@Joey_Helms]

I was thinking about the thermometer idea. I will be back in July. Maybe then. In the meantime I will have a slower, longer video coming too. Stay tuned.

My daughter is 2 1/2 and very interested in Volcanoes. She gets livid if I try to show her any videos of volcanos but this one. We watch it on the regular.

Drone photography/videography is the tech miracle of this era. It’s low risk, low cost and high quality and accessible to all.
