When you fly a drone into an active crater



Posted for kamikaze video that's real purty. He had said on an earlier video that his drone had been banged up and half the sensors were no longer working, so not a virgin drone and the volcano will continue to erupt.

There is now only one vent active at the surface, but it makes up for the loss of the other 7, shooting spatter 165 ft/50 meters up into the air. I say "at the surface" because there is always the possibility that other vents are sending lava through tubes, increasing the depth of the flow, but this is what we saw in Hawaii 2 years ago, vent 8 becoming the dominant surface event.

Earthquake swarms continue, a cluster northeast of the Geldingadalur event and to the west-sourwest, just northwest of the town of Grindavik.
