Drone pilot captures incredible footage of lava spewing from volcano in Iceland as tourists flock to see its first eruption for 6,000 yearshttps://video.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2021/03/22/7581006545391891134/636x382_MP4_7581006545391891134.mp4Bjorn Steinbekk, a drone pilot from Reykjavik, has captured incredible footage of the eruption at the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland as lava spewed from its main vent and ran down its sides. Mr Steinbekk was one of hundreds of tourists who flocked to the site at the weekend, despite government warnings, to bear witness to the rare natural phenomenon - which hasn't occurred at this volcano in 6,000 years. The awe-inspiring footage captures a river of lava flowing out of the main vent and down the side of the volcano in what could easily be mistaken for footage from a video game. Mr Steinbekk then flew his drone over the main vent as it spewed lava, travelling straight through a plume of molten pieces of rock which go whizzing past the camera lens.
