Here's my favorite shot from my trip to Iceland in 2021. This is a 2 shot blend. One from my Nikon D850 for the actual volcano. The lava trail is from a drone shot which melted the bottom of my drone. I still think it was worth it.

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

Took a moment to understand the scale of the mountain lol
zakabog t1_jdw0liz wrote
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.
innovfitness OP t1_jdw0q7p wrote
Nope. At one point there 8 drones flying.

Thanks for sharing. We left Iceland last year the day it erupted again.

Is this the same eruption that spawned the happy lava frog?
If so, that's my favourite. Yours can be second favourite

frozenuniverse t1_jdzr2fp wrote
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
frozenuniverse t1_jdzrf44 wrote
You don't think doing a composition of this and not putting it in the title is quite deceptive? You've completely changed the composition of the shot by using separate photos of the lava flow and the volcano, and created a scene that didn't exist (the relative scale of the volcano and the lava flow don't match the reality for one thing)

To be fair, Tolkien had an Icelandic nanny who taught him a lot of the Icelandic/Nordic myths and folk tales, which may have been an influence on his writings - so it seems only appropriate that we mention Mordor in relation to the Icelandic volcanoes.
