Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove told Storyful that his experience over the years gave him a good understanding of “what is possible and what is not”, and enabled him to maneuver his drone as closely to the lava as he could without damaging his gear.

He uploaded the “intimate top-down shot of a very active vent” to his Instagram, where he shared his enthusiasm about the “absolutely mind-blowing” eruption.
