The extremely active volcanic region near the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland has erupted, giving filmmakers who happened to be in the area a chance to capture new, visually stunning aerial footage of lava flows.
After almost a week of increased seismic activity in the area between Fagradalsfjall and Keilir, a new volcanic eruption has taken place in Iceland.
On July 11, a lava-producing fissure eruption broke the surface near Litli-Hrútur mountain on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The eruption took place in an uninhabited area and posed no threat to any infrastructure. Seismic activity has been in a steady decline since Tuesday, but there was a period where lava poured out of the ground and flowed across the surface — a prime target for filmmakers.
Finnbogason wasn’t the only one who was in the area with filmmaking equipment. Photographer Chris Burkard and his photo assistant Joel Barger happened to be in Iceland opening a gallery in Reykjavik and while Burkard was on the other side of the island spending time with his family, Barger rushed over to the eruption and put his drone in the air.
“Fortunately for me, a strong wind blew at my back keeping dangerous gasses away. Even so, ISAR warned us to vacate the area soon after shooting some photos with the expectation that winds could shift and the gas could prove hazardous, even deadly to visitors.”
