Drone technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past decade. As the price of high-tech drones continues to trend downward, more and more people have the opportunity to use their autonomous aircraft to get a birds-eye view of whatever they want. For Joey Helms, a YouTuber that has gained fame thanks to incredible drone videos, Iceland's Fagradalsfjall volcano provided an incredible opportunity to film an eruption in a way that few have ever dared.
Helms used his brand new DJI FPV drone to get up-close-and-personal with the erupting volcano, flying the $1,300 aircraft dangerously close to the flying lava. In fact, he got a little bit too close, and when a burst of red-hot liquid rock came flying at the drone it lost connection and crashed into the fiery pit. It was the drone's final flight, but the footage Helms was able to save from the journey was probably worth the price.
