As the official filmmaker of the mission, I was given the front passenger seat, an immense privilege that became quite evident once we hit the relentlessly bumpy, dirt roads of eastern Iceland. The scenery, however, was breathtaking. Rivers, mountains, volcanoes, lava fields, and ice shelves; nature’s chaos and harmony playing tug-of-war in all directions. From my coveted seat, I piloted my aerial drone to circle our vehicle as it crossed no less than three rivers, nervously watching as the water level rose up to the window, splashing my two GoPro cameras mounted to the Landcruiser. Even so, none of the cameras were able to capture the huge smile on my face.
