Stromboli Volcano by Drone

On June 21, 2024, it was my 20th birthday and I decided to celebrate by flying my drone around Stromboli, the most active volcano in Europe. I started with some wide-angle island scenery before going up to the craters for some eruptions. I’ve been interested in this volcano for the better part of a decade, so to be there for myself and to capture these dramatic shots was a dream come true.

All of these shots were captured on June 21, 2024, two weeks BEFORE the drone ban.

Cool Video thank you❤😊

Beautiful footage especially at the 1 m 30 mark above the vent. Looks like the drone had a close call on a couple of occasion!!!

[@keatonterry]

There were definitely some close calls, but the risk was absolutely worth the reward! The shots just wouldn’t be as dramatic if the drone was farther away.

Fantastic footage. If I was a major news organization I would license this video for a substantial sum of money.

We were watching this the day before you and I may have even heard you chatting to your friends about flying your drone as you were down near the quayside on Friday morning. Great footage. Amazing to see it so close up. Brilliant camera work.

Was this before or after the jellyfish sting? 😂 glad you like the footage!

The ban on drone overflights, throughout the entire territory of the Aeolian Islands. Best regards! 🙂

[@keatonterry]

This was filmed before that. Checked all the laws prior to flying.

When was the last eruption? Thx! Great pic!

[@keatonterry]

Stromboli erupts multiple times per hour so probably sometime between when you wrote that comment and when I replied!

[@daphnekivinen9482]

@@keatonterry I meant previously. Before the start of this recent eruption. Thx!

[@keatonterry]

⁠@@daphnekivinen9482 Stromboli has been in a more or less constant state of eruption for thousands of years. It’s not like Etna where it starts and stops every few months.

@@keatonterry Thank you! I got my answer from the internet. I should have done that in the first place.
