A drone has crashed into Iceland s spewing Fagradalsfjall volcano, with its final spectacular moments being captured on video.
YouTuber Joey Helms was attempting to get a close-up view of the lava erupting from the volcano s crater, when he flew it a little too close to the action.
In the video posted online today, the drone approaches the volcano crater, angling in as it zooms over the bright lava flowing like a waterfall over the edge.

As the footage draws closer to the centre of the eruption, gas from the hot lava spreads up over the camera lens before the lava spurts up into its path, causing the footage to suddenly come to an end.
