Krasse Drohnenaufnahme von Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove, der dafür in Island einen eruptierenden Vulkan überflogen hat.
What you’re looking at is a top down view of a lava river rushing down a hill. The lava is so runny, it’s almost as if it were water. This is because I recorded this very close to a vent further up the hill. The lava’s temperature is still close to 1200-1250 degrees Celsius here. Additionally, because it’s going downhill, it’s going even faster than you’d expect. When I spotted this „lavafall“ from ground level, I immediately knew I needed to get my drone above it as that was where it would look really interesting to me.
PS: Yes, this is the actual speed at which it was flowing. It’s really hard to wrap your mind around the fact that this is actually liquid rock.
