PART-1
The Best video of collections for the Geldingadalir eruption from the initiated time of
the eruption in March to today on 15 July 2021 for about almost 5 months which are posted on YOUTUBE by many photographers and videographers including scientists.
PROLOGUE
As long as I, Isamu KITAFUJI recognize for 77 years of my life experience that this time worldwide volcanic activity, there have not been such multi worldwide volcanic eruptions continuously concentrated in 2∼3 months since the end of DEC 2020 in addition to the very recent Nyiragongo which erupted at 7 pm on 22 MAY 2021.
This phenomenon is an extremely rare case but nothing than a coincidence that never triggers any fatal or deadly volcanic activity connected each other to frighten the world citizens at all which will not be like the destruction by "SODOM & GOMORRAH" since these MAGMA activities of the HOT SPOT type volcanoes are initiated at the D-zone between the lower part of the lower mantle and upper part of the outer core of the earth while the time of the PLATE TECTONIC mechanism has been formed since some hundreds of millions of years ago.
Please visit my FACEBOOK of 23 May 2021 for further detailed information clicking the below Facebook box for the recent Nyiragogogo volcano flank scoria-cone eruptions.

Instead, due to the cause of COVID-19 turmoil, many volcano enthusiasts like me are hard to reach the eruption site while those local residents in their country are enjoying the picnic or trekking to approach the eruption site easily with less risky HOT-SPOT type volcano of three shield volcanos of Kilauea HAWAII, Reunion island FRANCE, ICELAND and Nyiragongo DR CONGO-Africa although the rest of erupted volcanos including MT. ETNA ITALY is not a hot spot type of volcanos which are repeating all strong volcanic activity since early time in 2021.

Mr joey helms sacrificed his DJI FPV drone by operating her into the middle of the molten magma fountain of scoria cone possibly intentionally since no one did it before though it is extremely expensive and a sorrowful mind to lose her forever under his sentimental value.
However, thanks to him, our worldwide viewers are thankful for his footage which are extremely valued since no one in the world has ever seen before in history such a sight of the breathtaking and dramatic scene of the real-time eruption right in the middle of the splashing magma of the fountain of fire.
Soon or later his footage will be recorded and evaluated as one of the most viewed volcanic videos over 3 to 5 million times on YOUTUBE not only among Icelandic many other volcano collections but also covering among all over the world volcano eruptions which will enable to seize back or more cash gain as the result what he purchased and sacrificed his beloved drone.

His additional footages posted on 01 June 2021 which the views have been recorded
11,256 times and 1390 for likes mark within 6 hours are the proof that they will be evaluated the world by YOUTUBE watchers and major media and maybe recorded more than10million times at least less than half a year since his masterpieces are not only excellent in shooting technics with the drone but also stunning and perfect BG on editing!
His footage will be evaluated and draw attention from much worldwide media as below :
His future possibility tells it in this blog which I foresaw it among the most viewed volcano eruption video.

28 April 2021 THE DRONE CRASHED INTO THE MOLTEN LAVA VENT!
The following sentence is quoted from his comment shown on YOUTUBE.
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!

On the 13th of March 2021 at 9:30pm, the Geldingadalir volcano woke up from her 6000 years long sleep after experiencing thousands of times of earthquake swarms since December 2020.
This video which was posted to YOUTUBE by videographer handle name:RADEK 7001 is one of the best footge among the video shooted on the ground expressing the stunning and impressive variety and motif of lava flow movements and activities.

EPILOGUE
I, Isamu KITAFUJI is very lucky to watch and enjoy those excellent videos they have posted on YOUTUBE which I have never admired before not only their talented artisan’s works but also the quality of modern equipment and editing soft and high resolutions of the digital card up to 4k or even 8K though I have not seen it yet in YOUTUBE.
In the era of our active old fashioned analogue era from 1980 to 2010, there were only roll/sheet films available and cassette tapes for camera and no HD developed yet but SD(low resolution) version only for movie/video equipment.
In addition, the camera equipment with the lenses was so heavy like LINHOF TEHINICA and films in cassette case and tripod (totally more than 40kgs ) and they were so expensive = one shot of the positive 4 x 5 inc costs was 2 USD including the film
development which could not confirm any shooting outcome result for at least 8 hours which those films were released to be developed at the professional photo lab while nowadays, we can verify the quality instantly after at shooting spot to prevent the mistake or to adjust to the best quality for angle and aperture ).
DRONE development usage becomes the final best and ideal method to add to gain the best angle and impact rather than chartering choppers or Cessna aircraft which is more expensive than purchasing one high-quality drone for each flight and can not fly or hovering over the top of the crater or vent and too shakey or vibrated by the wind affections.
This is the first time in the history in the world that all pictures and video footage from Icelandic volcano eruption recoding are the best works that have never been seen in the past volcanic activity recording enabled by those far advanced high technologies on the recording.
I am sure that everyone may be understood and appreciate the current situation by reading above and knowing such poor and hard environmental circumstances of my era which ended in vain of time and money waste indeed which was almost 1.5 to 2 million US dollars in all.
Although The world is suffering from the corvid-19 for almost one and half years, all citizens in ICELAND and a few people who cleared to enter the country under the proper process but the complicated procedure and expenditure are very lucky to observe the magnificent great fissure eruptions since the visiting volcano eruption site was extremely lucky which never happened even in ICELAND.
All the conditions enabled to fit every one satisfied their purpose without problem by
ideal and good weather condition not in mid-winter but at beginning of springtime with less snow and the location was ideal as the distance is not far and possible to get close to the site by car and walk-in, less than 2~3 hours from RAIKAVIK city without chartering choppers and at least the eruption continued more than 2 months.
Everyone in the world did notice the first eruption immediately by free INTERNET NEWS & INFORMATION and WEBCAM besides we enjoy watching the activity not only at the eruption site but also at everyone's home in the world by real-time volcanic activity for day & night of 24hours.
In considering with our active era since 40 years ago, it was not possible for any inch of the above conditions in comparison with the equipment & communication improvement including drone and high memory card resolution and mobile phone which helps nowadays no human mistake of taking pictures or even videos thanks to modern technology while everyone regardless of professional or not, they can participate in illustrating and posting pictures or video to the world instantly by various free of INTERNET SERVICES
by far cost-less work and saving times and money in comparison with the 20~30 years era.
