Drone footage offers close look at erupting Icelandic volcano

New drone footage taken on March 23 shows lava bubbling from the crater of an Icelandic volcano.

The drone operator braved the snow and biked seven kilometres to the volcano, which is not accessible by road.

The volcano erupted on March 19 in a peninsula in southwest Iceland. It was the first eruption in the peninsula since the 12th century.

  1. Shame they can’t harvest all that lovely heat. The island could do with it judging by their weather!

  2. Phantastic footage! (And, btw., I appreciate it very much that you didn’t spoil it with dramatizing music. There is no sound but the pictures speak for themselves…)
