I tried to film a volcano and it was a complete disaster

Iceland has a new volcano, Fagradalsfjall: I wanted to visit, to talk about the infrastructure around it, and work out how the country deals with a new and dangerous tourist attraction. It didn’t go well.

Thanks to Bjorn Steinbekk, who I thoroughly recommend if you need a fixer or drone pilot in Iceland! https://www.steinbekk.com/ He’s also the person who flew a drone into the lava: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmGKL19W_UM

The quote is from Sam Hughes’ Ra, which is free online. I thoroughly recommend it: https://qntm.org/ra
