Volcano eruption next to Litli-Hrútur in Iceland in 2023 recorded from up close with a drone. Such a video was only made possible by the use of new technologies, since it is otherwise impossible to safely observe an erupting volcano at such close range. As the lava gets ejected from the warmest place, its temperature quickly decreases and the lava changes its color from yellow to orange, to red, to brown, and finally to black.
