- A drone captured stunning close-up shots of lava bubbling in the crater of a volcano on Tuesday that began erupting near Iceland's capital Reykjavik on Friday.
0:15 The drone operator braved the snow and biked seven kilometres to the volcano which is not accessible by road, and captured lava pouring from the crater, down the side of the volcano, and into a lava field.
The eruption, which occurred near Fagradalsfjall, a mountain on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, followed thousands of small earthquakes in recent weeks and was the first on the peninsula since the 12th century.

Absolutely FIVE STAR footage! Superbly flown Drone, the "pilot" deserves an award! Brilliant, well done!!
He posted it on Reddit, said he melted his drone for the footage. Props to him!
@@ryanellis7985 Yer it melts at 0:12, he got a bit to close...
No doubt. I finished building a drone yesterday, and I don't think I would fly it over the top like that
@@edwinmartin1924 I thought that was too close a flypast! 😬
Thanks for your appreciation 😙☺️
Strange how something so powerful and threatening can be so beautiful at the same time.
Red eruptions are for the most part harmless other than what gets overrun by lava...
That's the way I feel when I view images of wildfires burning forests near a body of water.
@Survive Thsht Yet one mega (insert natural disaster here) can wipe our entire existence off the planet.
@@WilliamStewart1 yeah exactly true
Have you met my wife
Never before has man been so close to an erupting volcano with this quality images.
@@parichaysrivastava ya think?
I think you're right. Getting this close to a live eruption with a camera and producing such top quality images is a real technical feat (how come the drone didn't melt or the lenses were not scorched or smoked up?)
@@louise_rose a lot of drones have been lost in the volcano so far the lava coming out of this volcano is at a temperature of 1200° C. I'm guessing there would be some kind of zoom on the drone for that shot not to melt the drone but I'm no drone expert xD
@@Nobrainerist I was thinking too that some of this would be zoom footage, or "teleobjektiv" as it's called in Swedish, but this doesn't make it any less brilliant as a film/camera achievement. :)
The volcano in snow recalls the memory from 2016, when I visited Iceland. Every single moment was just stunning. It is mind-bending when we see glacier in the morning and then boiling earth in the evening.
That’s the most volcano-shaped volcano I think I’ve ever seen.
Very cone-shaped.
Nice and geometrical
Technically I think all volcanoes are equally volcano-shaped.
And yet I live in Iceland Bit I'm from Philippines
@@magicjuiceyt6650 hxxxcx
Who ever owns that drone, thank you for risking your equipment to get those shots. Fantastic.
I don't get why people dislike this. Like, what do you not like? Nature? The volcano erupting? That's beautiful footage. What is there not to like smh.
They were using upside down mobile phone , and liked the video
@@amritpalsidhu6454 😂😂😂
An erupting volcano during snowfall is a damn beautiful visual, wow.
That is Ash fall, not snow.
i thought that was ash not snow lol
@@jamesreeves427 Definitely ash. I am working a-t-m out of the Caribbean. A lot of ash on the ground ... heck simply everywhere from the still on-going erpution of St. Vincent's Mt Soufriere volcano.
@@j.gaea.zimmer6911
No ash with these eruptions
This is snow

@@j.gaea.zimmer6911
Well….there is no ash with these eruptions
This is snow!!

Amazing. That drone pilot really is talented. He is showing us something none of us will never see.
You may see it. But it would be the last time you'd see anything.
Yeah...really cool..although his drone melted during the shot....incredible
@@Ghana_from_above Worth it...I think.
I literally hiked ther last week
Absoulte agree with you : )
It's crazy how hard it is to get a scale of the size and how it looks so much smaller on camera than it is.
this volcano in particular is small. it is probably relatively new.
This is a opened fisher of the volcano. Bigger the volcano is the bigger the fishers that open down hill from the volcano are
The actual volcano is almost 800 feet tall. What you see in this video is only maybe 60 feet tall
The last shot with the guy shows how big it is
@@hsein3838 , it's happened to the best of us.

Take a bow to the drone operator for this extraordinary visuals✌

@@tgphighscoreruns4111 Epic response bro!
What an incredibly stunning drone footage flight... it is unbelievably beautiful and the power of this eruption is unmistakable. Moments like these leave you in awe, it is also at that moment that I am thankful all Icelanders are doing well. But as with any event with nature keep informed. I have read a simple change of wind direction could change things, be safe and know 🇺🇲❤🇮🇸
thank you. this is one of the smallest eruption we have seen, and does not pose any danger to us, even though its so close to the capiotol that you can see the light from it from your front door, we call those cute eruptions tourist eruptions, we do on the other hand have huge volcanoes here that we expect to go off in the near future, but in general i think most of us are more xited than scared about the volcanic activity
So beautiful and terrifying at the same time....
You took the words right out of my mouth😶
@@condacorneri9093 No doubt! If I were a giant I'd be all about dipping my wick into that spicy tamale! It'd be like putting the tip of a volcano into a volcano, am I right?!?!?

That’s exactly what I said last week .Great minds think a like,lol

Heartbeat of our Earth.
Amazing energy just below the surface we all live on.
More like a zit popping
Pimple of our earth
WOW, Real & Raw!
These are the camera shots I been waiting for. True art in it's most RAW form,
FIRE & ICE, forming in front of the observer.
Bruh why your spaces so damn long
ice? what ice? also, nature is not art.
Why do you type like this
Isn’t it amazingly beautiful?
Agree, this is astonishing footage - you have to wonder how the drone actually survived! I figure some of the close-up shots will have been done with telephoto lenses, never mind, this is brilliant photography and really captures the event.
Such close up coverage wouldn’t have been possible without drones
Reinforced Helicopters 🚁
Been watching this live for days, but these shots are awesome!
0:08 You literally could not ask for a more perfectly timed Nature shot as a cinematographer... The fact that the cone even had a breakoff micro collapse splash up while flying over it was a beautiful coincidence...
I feel like that bit was animated
@@glutenfreebread9015 Nah he probably had lot more shot thats where not so good, and that one was the one
Especially 0:13
@@glutenfreebread9015 What do you mean by animated? If it wasn't filmed, how was it made?
Margarita Magdalena Some people made a few fake TikToks and now some people be thinking everything’s fake... lmfao.
Earth Wind Fire and water all in one beautiful scene
U forgot snow
@@dangzero I was counting the Snow as water
Yeah you could make a music video out of this your comment makes me want to look up the band relevant to your comment.
Hello captain planet
@@peace6383 and what about water?
Lost for words, beyond magical ✨
Its amazing to watch this! Visualizing what Craters of the Moon looked liked during its different eruptions is now easier thanks to this Volcano!
Kudos to the videographer, this video made it into the news here in Iceland! It looks UNREAL, like some sort of high class Hollywood animation. An absolut one of a kind masterpiece! And speaking as a fellow Icelandic here, most of us wouldn't DARE to even get close to the active vulcanoes that got lava flowing inside them close to the surface still. I wonder how the authorities let him get so close because usually drones are prohibited in a 5KM radius when a vulcanoe is erupting here and they won't let civilians even NEAR the scene to watch it up close. So this is literally some "once in a lifetime" - footage!
You should continue the trend of non politically charged stories. It’s a breath of fresh air
The music so calming relaxed me

Global News: Shows the volcano footage
Also Global News: Credits the person behind the footage as *drone operator*. 👏👏
Bjorn Steinbekk
There is such a fatal attraction about seeing a volcano erupting like this without visual obstruction of ash clouds ... A dangerous temptation ...
Brilliant photography.
Incredible footage! I love the aerial footage of volcanic activity. It's just so much easier to get the full scope of the action.
Oh my gosh that is the greatest footage of an active volcano I've seen in my whole life. And the reason for this is that this is such a quintessential ideal version of a volcano! It looks exactly like the kind that you would have seen in diagrams at school, in cartoons, or any other kind of media that involves a volcano being depicted with graphics. Specifically, it is the shape of a small mountain that steepens towards the top and has a super active very angry red lava lake that is pouring lava like crazy. It's literally like something from a videogame! Volcanoes are never this perfect and beautiful!! I'm gonna send this to all the kids that I'm connected with and hope they're as excited as I am by this!!
Drone must have awesome heat shields. It flew through a blob of lava.
@w4csc I would take a guess.. in that they filmed the rest and then did the very risky manover thats what I would do to minimise risk and cost of drones - the power of Editing!
@@fishevans6417 yeah true
0:14 a cut means drone is over
@w4csc don't think so, you need the sd card for footage in this quality
@@jamoin3829 not really, with dji you can save the clips in high quality at the same time on the phone
This is the most relaxing video i've ever seen !
Totaly love it!
This is incredible!
Stunning 🤩. Fascinated me that there’s 47 thumbs down - how can anybody not find this totally awesome?!
Maybe superstition ?! Fear ? Envy ?

I was there last evening. I can really say that ive never seen anything as stunning and beautiful as this
so incredible stunning! Mother Earth is a Beauty.!......thanks very much for showing this, i never will see it in real, - i mean, standing there personal and watch the Magma/Lava! 👀👍🙏
i once saw from far the Volcano Ätna in Sicilia, when he was "spucking" Lava - beautiful in nighttime 😊
0:30 such a breathtakingly beautiful view of a volcano!
Cutest darn baby volcano ever!!! We love you Iceland!
WOW. I never thought the lava was like a "soup" inside, I thought it was exploding from underneath. This volcano is just too beautiful, completely symmetrical and perfect!
That is due to the chemistry of the magma/lava itself. This is primarily basalt, which is a runny, yet heavy variety of lava (mafic).
The kinds of volcanoes that explode are typically a totally different kind of magma and lava. They're more felsic, and are a lot more viscous/less runny. They explode because though the lava/magma is not as heavy as these basaltic ones, it's a lot thicker, so it plugs itself up and allows pressure to build. Sorta like if you cover the nozzle of a running garden hose with your finger, and you get a powerful jet from the hose. But with the rhyolitic and andesitic kinds of lava, it would be like plugging a hose that is pushing pressurized toothpaste or honey instead of water, so when the pressure builds, it can really pop off.
Thankfully, these basaltic volcanoes are not nearly as dangerous, because they're more runny so they're usually not prone to plugging up and exploding.
@@evilcam wow thank you for the info!
It’s the gasses mostly SO2 that causes the lava to explode under pressure most volcanos just erupt lava slowly like a slow dripping faucet
Gracias CZcams exelentes reportajes
Incredible ...Mother Nature is that & TY for this incredible Drone footage proving it👍👍👍👍👍📽🎞🎬
It’s soo awesome like I’m not really into volcanoes but that was next level
It’s amazing how the world works
Tips to the drone driver
Amazing footage !!
Kudos to the badass who took a risk on that first shot!!!!! So awesome!
The most beautiful things are the most dangerous.❤
drone to controller: don't ever do that to me again.
Yeah really!!! LMAO
Lol yeah don’t ever roast my butt again ^^
Really nice...Volcanos fascinated me since geography at high school. The music choice was excellent too.
TRULY amazing! Thank you so much for posting!!

@@osamabinladen824 that's true
😂
A tunnel straight to the centre of the earth, while it reminds us were living on a thin film of frozen lava
Ikr
Well kinda I learned this in school we live on the crust yes thin layer but then there’s the mantel but it’s soft and it’s always moving that’s what cause earthquakes there’s another layer or two I forgot and the core is the centre of the earth but just think all this lava has made its way from the core to the surface that’s insane
Not to the center of the Earth, but from a relatively shallow bubble of magma pushing up from the mantle.
We live on the burnt marshmellow crust
volcanos do NOT go to the center of Earth. You've been lied to. Not even globe teaching teaches that. The Earth is flat and motionless. Wake up
This is such a gorgeous volcano! 🌋
Utterly masterful photography/video.
Awesome! What beautiful footage, and the music suits it perfectly!
Agreed, but the music needs some percussion on certain segments, think intro to "2001..."
The Music is terrible. Needs it’s real sound.

@@maria_3105 not quite so long, by air the distance is just over 20 miles from downtown Reykjavík, by road and hiking, just over 30 miles.
Just look at it go. Looks small tbh compared to other volcanoes. But breathtaking. The sky, smoke, ash with the contrast of the black crust and the lava which is red, orange and yellow is just mesmerizing. Absolutely stunning🌋
It's a spatter cone...it litterally just formed when this started erupting...they generally don't get that big
Its crazy how much deadly power there is in this volcano yet how peaceful and beautiful it looks bubbling away steadily
I love the cone shape of the volcano. One of the most beautiful volcanic eruptions I have seen in recent years.
Please, what is this music? I LOVE IT!
Scientist: how close can you fly with that drone?
Drone Operator Sigurður: yes
Ahahahaha nice
Truly a land of fire and ice. Beautiful!!!

Nothin’ like watching red hot lava flowing in the middle of a snowstorm! 👍
At least you be warm up close to the lava lol
That is ash, not snow
Pretty amazing video. Thanks.
amazing footage. i wish i could go there and seeing this myself :')
Nice. Video i like these kinds of close ups to dangerous things

Now, *THIS* is one of the very few good uses of those bloody drones! It looks scary and beautiful at the same time. 😍😍😍
Nature is absolutely stunning!
Silent for 6,000 years and then🌋 Beautiful really. Scary for the inhabitants in the area, but beautiful.
Actually, only silent for 800 years ("...first [eruption] on the peninsula since the 12th century"...], but point taken.

I suppose you animated them and when you riffled your notebook it looked exactly like this video?
Adorable??? Oh well....
True, its like making a science experiment.
Yes! Another volcanos are so disappointing
Great to see how it is building the cone around itself.
Wow!!! That is just awesome!
