do you require a drone permit to fly in this area?

Nope, it's not a national park (where drones are prohibited in Iceland) but there were daily updates based on drone activity. If there was another eruption the country might prohibit drone flights based on how dangerous it is.

Nope. At one point there 8 drones flying.

Do you have to use heat shielding on the drones to keep them from burning up?

frozenuniverse t1_jdzr2fp wrote on March 28, 2023 at 11:47 AM

No, just don't fly them too low (because they will and do melt, and no heat shielding is available that I'm aware of that works for drones!). Quite a few people did melt or lose drones with this volcano
