A volcanic eruption began 19 March 2021 in the region of Fagradalsfjall mountain on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. It is at Geldingadalir, around the centre of the magma intrusion dyke that has formed under the peninsula over recent weeks.

The flight was 20 March at 09:00 GMT, 11 hours after the volcano started to erupt.

This footage was taken with RED Weapon 35 and SHOTOVER G1 gimbal that was rigged inside a Bell 407 Helicopter.
