Plumes of grey ash mixed with gas explode violently over the La Soufrière volcano in St Vincent, spreading far across the sky. In Iceland, the massive Mount Fagradalsfjall volcano spouts red-hot lava high into the air and over the sides of its crater, transforming the landscape with ominous orange-black ooze. Drones have been hovering nearby, bearing witness to these recent events and bringing vital information back to disaster management authorities and the public.
