The second largest lava flow in Icelandic history was Skaftáreldahraun (1783) and this part of it is called Eldhraun lava field. There's a maze of winding rivers that run through the lava which offer a lot of interesting drone shots.

QUICK NOTES:

  • What it is: A winding river surrounded by lava.

  • Best season: Any (but it might be covered in snow in winter).

  • Best time of day: Any.

  • Nice to know: This is really only a drone spot.
