When you fly a drone into active crater! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-04-28 | This morning I concluded my 12-hour stream from the volcano. It was my way of closing a chapter that has consumed my life last 6 weeks or so.It’s hard to describe in words, but I have actually been very emotional this morning, crying and sad but also so thankful for this experience and being able to share it with you. I realised last night when I took a walk down to say goodbye to this magnificent phenomenon that you can fall in love with a volcano. Takk!

Iceland Erupts - Reykjanes peninsula December 2023 Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2023-12-24 | Shortly after 10 PM on Monday, the 18th, 2023, a 4km long fissure opened up north of the town of Grindavík, Iceland.The eruption had been expected since tremendous earthquakes hit the town and nearby areas such as the geothermal spa, Blue Lagoon, and the main power plant on the peninsula, supplying more than 34.000 people with hot and cold water and electricity. Over 200 cubic meters of lava per second spewed into the air for the first few hours. Then, the eruption started to wind down less than 92 hours after the spectacular sight on that cold Monday evening on the 18th of December. The last crater lost pressure, and the eruption was over on the 22nd of December.
Midnight mood by the volcano Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2023-07-31 | Twilight is always a source of mood and magical moments. It goes without saying that an active volcano during dusk is nothing less than mesmerizing. The new Mavic 3 Pro with three cameras, two being a 70mm telephoto camera and a 166mm one, make capturing the beauty of volcano eruption easier and offers angles not available before.
Chasing Volcanos - With The New DJI Air 3 Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2023-07-25 | Drones have made bringing nature to people more effortless for creators. For instance, they offer different perspectives and are essential in bringing an active volcano in Iceland to audiences worldwide, one frame and one photo at a time. It's safe to say that the new DJI Air 3, which features a 24mm wide–angle camera and a 70mm medium tele camera, will be crucial in documenting the new earth being born and evolving in the coming days and weeks.Chasing volcanos is a privilege. A privilege that needs to be treated with respect for the elements, the danger that can come with it but most of all, with respect for the volcano.Following a volcano from the moment the lava thrusts through the ground and starts building up, taking shape until there is no more life in the crater, is like watching someone you have strong feelings for being born, grow, and sadly, die.A volcano eruption is like life. It's beautiful, sweet, and cute in its infant stage, and you can't take your eyes off it. It grows fast after a few days or weeks, building up and acting wild sometimes, just like a teenager finding his way in life.Then, all of a sudden, it's all grown up and stands there tall, beautiful, a crater full of life, heat, and power, ready to shape the land it was born on.But, like in life, the volcano starts slowing down after its prime. The turmoil in the crater weakens, and it loses pressure and power, and then, all of a sudden, the glow is out. It blows no more but will forever leave its mark with rugged lava fields and as a memory for those so fortunate to be in its presence, even just for a day.
Everything will be ok - Heimaey eruption 1973 Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2023-07-16 | Everything will be ok! Few things are more Icelandic than the phrase "þetta reddast," which can be translated to "Everything will be ok." In few places, this is more true than in Vestmannaeyjar, where the harsh nature, pirates, countless shipwrecks, and volcanic eruptions in the town's backyard have shaped the attitude and tested the fortitude of those who live and love the beautiful island. These events create a specific image of Vestmannaeyjar and the people that live there. These are the people the elements have tested repeatedly, and their well knows and sometimes controversial humor is used to lighten the mood during their dark hours and days.There are no problems in Vestmannaeyjar, only solutions and the cup is always half full. It doesn't matter if the town hosts a couple of football tournaments with thousands of participants or stages Iceland's most popular music festival, where adventure-seeking youngsters from the mainland mix with the local maidens and young men in harmony with Iceland's best artists. Everyone comes together to create memories that will live with them for ages, and the memory of the beauty of Vestmannaeyjar will live with them forever. Few things have tested this serenity of island women and men than the eruption in Heimaey, which began on January 23, 1973, and ended on July 3. Never before in recent times had a volcanic eruption started in a settlement or a town in Iceland, yet with seamless reaction and organization skills combined with the unique mentality of the people in Vestmannaeyjar, more than five thousand people were evacuated from the island and brought to shelter up on the mainland. That night everything turned out ok! Vestmannaeyjar is a unique place. There is an incredible selection of restaurants on the island. Each one of them has its own style and identity. At some, the chef's love for the beautiful islands and the sea that surrounds them can be experienced through unique and mesmerizing courses that can only be created by people that have mastered the art of "þetta reddast." It is in Vestmannaeyjar where the cliffs, the rocks, the volcanoes, and the sea create a unique scenery that would be perfect for a dramatic and scenic Disney movie, and in all honesty, few places match in beauty and contrast. In Vestmannaeyjar, life is wonderful. The puffin fills the summer sky, and the island clusters create a landscape that leaves no one untouched. The fact that fifty years ago, more than 400 houses burned or disappeared under lava and ash in the Islands, and women and men worked day and night to save houses, belongings, memories, and the harbor during the winter, spring, and summer tells us that despite everything that might happen and nature and life throws at us... everything will be ok!
New Earth is born. Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2023-07-14 | Capturing eruptions requires patience and dedication. You have no control; you obey what mother nature brings you, on her terms, on her time. The latest eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula is a special one. It's the first time I captured the lava making its way through the Earth's surface, as seen at the beginning of this short recap of the first three days of the volcano.

The Fishermans Wife Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2023-06-04 | During the first weekend of June, Icelanders pay tribute to the men and women that have dedicated their lives to the ocean. Fishing was, for centuries, the main industry in Iceland and has always played a large part in people's lives, especially in the coastal towns around the country. On this assignment for 66°North, Icelands leading outdoor clothing brand with strong roots in the fishing industry, I explored the lives of the women and children left at home while their husband spends half the year at sea.

Many shapes of lava! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-09-14 | Contrast is so important when filming lava and volcanos. It's hard to bring out the beauty of a phenomenon like this without black versus red, crater in a landscape, or nearby people. What is your favorite, night or day, a landscape or birdseye? Did you know I am crowdfunding for a new project? Please check this link if you want to support; karolinafund.com/project/view/3516

Mulagljufur canyon, the canyon of all canyons! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-17 | Just of the ring road, close to Iceland's highest peak is Mulagljufur canyon. The canyon is, without a doubt, one of Iceland's most stunning locations to visit. The hike up the western side is pretty easy and takes around 40 minutes, and is totally worth it. A spot that sits high on my top ten list of spots in Iceland.
Roaming over Fjadrargljufur canyon Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-17 | One of Iceland's most visited canyon in winter clothes. Such a different perspective than during summer. I am, to be honest, fascinated with filming birdseye view at locations that many have visited but never seen like this.
Mt. Lomagnupur! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-10 | This mountain has so many connections to my childhood. When I was a child, I was seriously sick due to ear troubles and to be taken across the country, many times a year, to the hospital in Reykjavik. Back then, the ring road was a dirt road, and it took about 12 hours to drive from my home on the east coast to Reykjavik; and this mountain was always a thrilling experience to see. Also, my grandparents had a painting of this mountain in their living room, so Lomagnupur has always been in my heart and mind.
Droning in an ice cave! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-10 | As the drone is the go-to photography tool I use so when I was deep in this ice cave had to simply fly it in the tight and dark spot. The result, even though I say my self, is awesome. Captured on Mavic 2 pro as most of my content.
North of the wall! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-10 | There is no wonder Icelandic nature has been used as a backdrop for major movies and television series. Do you spot the ice cave?
The rugged glacier! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-10 | Svinafellsjokull glacier is located in the Vatnajokull nature reserve. It's a typical outlet glacier from Vatnajokull glacier, Icelands and Europes largest glacier. Easily accessible from the ring road and a must stop when visiting the south coast of Iceland.
The waterfall by the end of the canyon Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-10 | On the south coast of Iceland, where glaciers sculpted the landscape long before any man or woman came to Iceland's shores, this magnificent waterfall lies underneath the ice cap in a canyon so deep and rugged that few have walked through it.
Mt. Vestrahorn reflection! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-01 | Sometimes you hit the perfect conditions while roaming your homeland. Vestrahorn mountain is usually photographed from the west side and is famous for its resemblance to the Batman logo. Can you spot it?
The green ridge! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-01 | Deep in the highlands of Landmannalaugar lies this unique green rhyolite ridge nestled between hills and canyons. This spot is only accessible during summer and you should not go there unprepared as its no less than a six to eight-hour hike in rough terrain.
Stokksnes peninsula! Bjorn Steinbekk - A guy with a drone 2021-03-01 | On Iceland's south-east coast, just outside the town of Höfn, is one of Iceland's most Instagrammed road. Many don't know that the road was created during the cold war to service the US Airforce listening station on the edge of the peninsula.
