Incredible footage shows a dive-bombing drone being incinerated by lava spewing from a volcano in Iceland.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano, which is 25 miles from Reykjavik, began erupting in March after lying dormant for more than 900 years.

Aerial video captures the drone flying over the volcano before crashing into the bubbling lava.

It was filmed and operated by YouTuber Joey Helms, who said: 'Around the volcano where you have the hot gases emitted they cause turbulence all around it and hot rocks raining on to you.

'[It makes] flying these things even more tricky.'

The long-dormant volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in south-west Iceland flared to life on March 20 after tens of thousands of earthquakes were recorded in the area.

Crowds of hikers have since flocked to the volcano to get a glimpse of the eruption.

Iceland has 32 volcanic systems currently considered active, the highest number in Europe. The country has had an eruption every five years on average.

The vast island near the Arctic Circle straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a crack on the ocean floor separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

The shifting of these plates is in part responsible for Iceland's intense volcanic activity.

The most recent eruption was at Holuhraun, beginning in August 2014 and ending in February 2015, in the Bardarbunga volcanic system in an uninhabited area in the centre of the island.

That eruption did not cause any major disruptions outside the immediate vicinity.

But in 2010, an eruption at the Eyjafjallajokull volcano sent huge clouds of smoke and ash into the atmosphere, disrupting air traffic for more than a week with the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights worldwide and leaving some 10 million engers stranded.

I can imagine the heat coming from the hot lava.

Do you like them enough to emulate them? Stupidity is thinking we can control nature, It was already here before us. I for one will be wary of a volcano that just woke up after 900yrs. Damn what the experts say. Dying as a burnt offering isnt on my wishlist

Damn

Volcano is Asorock...
E go sweet die.

Meanwhile, watch as that useless jobless boy righteousmugu turns this thread to religious post.
Telling us about Jesus that slave masters sold to his great-grand parents and hell fire.

Where's righteousness89?

Oyinbo and extreme stuff!

Yet the volcano on earth planet is not even close to some planets like Jupiter..

Lol, this Icelandic volcano again that indirectly caused Barca's semi-final UCL elimination to Inter in 2010.

Barca team had to travel by road on short notice from Spain to Italy for the first leg due to closure of airspace as the volcano had triggered bad weather and visibility all over western Europe. The boys were fatigued for the match at the San Siro and duly lost the match to Mourinho's team.

That their capital Reykjavyk is a tongue twister. It's pronounced as rayeeyaveek.

Science and technology at work. Hopefully, Nigeria will one day get there.

I don’t know if it’s ignorance that make you guys make this kind of racist statement but it annoys the Bleep out of me. I don’t know what kind of self hate is this, go and like them na, continue liking whites
That’s how some will always be saying things like “black man mentality” or “black man no wise”
They’re millions of blacks on earth, stop that nonsense generalization
Go and sin no more, brother

I go like cook beans 4 dz kin heat

Wow!!!
This is incredible!

Is there any tendency that it can occur in Rocks?
Asking for wicked Aso Rock inhabitants

Is the heat not getting to where these people are

Could this be an overflow of hell fire?

Nice...what's the song playing in the background?

How do you pronounce this Eyjafjallajokull

Mourinho need to thank this Eyjafjallajokull Volcano for his 2010 champions league win,

The drone operator is crazy.

He reached the point of hot lava, instead of ascending for better view, he decided to descend.

Wahala be like Ijebu garri...e dey rise quick

Make una patronize me abeg

Can't such a think happen in Aso rock?
