Over the weekend, a volcano called Fagradalsfjall (pronounced fagra-dals-fyell) erupted in Iceland. The volcano is located near Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.

It’s an eruption that people have been expecting for several weeks. So, people have been moved away and no one was hurt. However, this is the first time the volcano has erupted in 800 years.

A drone captured the eruption and the video is amazing. In the video, you can see the lava (liquid rock) of the volcano, glowing orange. Scientists have also set up a live online video of the volcano that people can watch at any time.

What is a drone?

A drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled by a pilot from the ground. It can also fly autonomously (by itself) through software-controlled flight plans.
