Drone crashes into erupting volcano in Iceland, watch the exact moment. Viral video

Joey Helms' drone captured the exact moment it fell right into the volcano's caldera. The clip has gone crazy viral on social media.

YouTuber and drone operator Joey Helms lost his brand new DJI FPV drone while it was hovering over an erupting Icelandic volcano. The drone captured the exact moment it fell right into the volcano's caldera. The footage captured is of Iceland's newest volcano, Fagradalsfjall in the Geldingadalir valley. Fagradalsfjall is a shield volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which is 40 km away from Reykjavík, Iceland. It started erupting on March 19, 2021, and continues to emit fresh lava. The aerial footage shows lava flowing out from the volcano and it is every bit mesmerising. Seems like my video went full throttle! More on my YouTube channel pic.twitter.com/RzrRniXxPu Speaking to The National, Joey Helms said that flying a drone above an erupting volcano is very tricky. "Around the volcano you have hot gasses that emit turbulence all around it and hot rocks raining on you. Flying these things is tricky,” the YouTube said. The video was shared by Joey on May 26, 2021 on YouTube. It already has 150,664 views. Watch the video here:
