  • 2 of 2 Over Iceland, Snaefellsjokull National Park

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Over slow life. The UAS flies over a volcanic landscape and creek. Snæfellsjökull, a volcano in the background has a sheer drop off for a cliff face on one side. A flat layer of cloud, stratus, is on the top of Snæfellsjökull. The landscape is covered with slow life, and the formations are practically unique. The only place to safely walk without trampling vegetation is the creek bed and nearby road. Interval: none, real-time, full motion video.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    33 seconds and 26 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Slow life, newer lava flows, and a mountain in a cloud. A recently active volcano with very little in the way of sediment for plant growth. The UAS flies over a volcanic landscape. Shallow, frozen puddles remain on low points from recent rain. Slow life grows in what little soil there is; this ground is so new in its life.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    31 seconds and 22 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Expanse of meadows and fields under morning clouds in Strokkur, Iceland. The formation of lower clouds on the medium to heavy side play over the flat interior of the expansive plains below. Many small and medium-sized vents spout steam regularly, with a larger spouting from a vent midway through playback. The cloud shadows of the morning shift quickly on the green fields and trees that are close by.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 10 frames.
