Summary

Description
English: Volcano eruption at Fagradalsfjall next to Litli-Hrútur in Iceland in 2023 captured from up close with a drone. Such a shot was only made possible by the use of new technologies, since it is otherwise impossible to safely observe an erupting volcano at such close range. The picture was also captured with Keilir perfectly aligned in the background. The extreme temperature of the lava creates a heat haze that can be seen on the left side of the image, beeing carried by the wind. Photography captured by Giles Laurent.
Français : Éruption volcanique à Fagradalsfjall près du Litli-Hrútur en Islande en 2023 photographiée de près par un drone. Une telle prise de vue n'a été rendue possible que par l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies, car il est autrement impossible d'observer en toute sécurité un volcan en éruption d'aussi près. La température extrême de la lave crée une masse d'air chaud que l'on peut voir à gauche de l'image, transportée par le vent.
Deutsch: Vulkanausbruch beim Litli-Hrútur in Island im Jahr 2023, aufgenommen aus nächster Nähe mit einer Drohne. Eine solche Aufnahme wurde nur durch den Einsatz neuer Technologien möglich, da es sonst unmöglich ist, einen ausbrechenden Vulkan aus so kurzer Entfernung sicher zu beobachten. Die extreme Temperatur der Lava erzeugt eine Masse erhitzter Luft, die auf der linken Seite des Bildes zu sehen ist und vom Wind getragen wird.
Español: Erupción del volcán cerca del Litli-Hrútur en Islandia en 2023 captada de cerca con un dron. Esta toma solo fue posible gracias al uso de nuevas tecnologías, ya que de otro modo es imposible observar con seguridad un volcán en erupción a tan corta distancia. La temperatura extrema de la lava crea una masa de aire caliente que puede verse a la izquierda de la imagen, arrastrada por el viento.
Italiano: Eruzione del vulcano vicino al Litli-Hrútur in Islanda nel 2023 ripresa da vicino con un drone. Questa ripresa è stata possibile solo grazie all'uso di nuove tecnologie, poiché altrimenti è impossibile osservare in sicurezza un vulcano in eruzione a distanza così ravvicinata. L'estrema temperatura della lava crea una massa d'aria riscaldata che si vede sul lato sinistro dell'immagine, trasportata dal vento.
