Watch this amazing video taken by a drone flying over an erupting volcano in Iceland.
Last Friday, the Fagradalsfjall volcano near Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, began to erupt for the first time in 800 years and after the island was shaken by the storm with thousands of small earthquakes. Fortunately, the explosion was small and did not endanger anyone. Instead, he offered some amazing opinions of lava flowing on the ground.
The sight was recorded better by a drone piloted by Icelander Bjorn Steinbekk. As you can see Steinbekk flew the drone several times through the flying lava – a daring feat that makes us wonder how his drone survived the high temperatureswinee.g.
The Fagradalsfjall eruption is relatively small for a volcano. The eruption crack is about 500-700 meters long and the lava is less than 1 square kilometer in size.
You can better understand the scale of the object from picture at the beginning of the article taken on Sunday. They show a crowd of hikers admiring the explosion, which is about 40 kilometers west of the Icelandic capital Reykjavik.
This video below shows you the site of the volcano before and after the eruption, which is located in a small valley in an uninhabited region of the country. News reports say there has been no ash fall from the eruption, but residents living below the volcano have been told to close their windows due to possible gas emissions.
None of this prevented Steinbekk from approaching the volcano. And if you want to see more of Iceland's fantastic videos and pictures from the air, you can see his official Instagram. There are some really great shots to admire.
