Top AirVuz contributor haussmannvisuals has developed a distinctive (and highly effective) production style for his drone videos, in which he uses gimbal-stabilized drones for "setup" views and first person view (FPV) drones for thrilling action shots.  In this outstanding piece, he takes us to Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of Northern Africa.  Ride along for some epic views of Tenerife's rocky coastline, soar over the rocky ridges and volcanoes of its interior, and more in this outstanding travel video.  

Former DVOW Winner Nico Lehr used a DJI Mini 4 Pro to create this marvelous aerial video of the Spanish island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands chain located off the coast of Northern Africa.  The video features spectacular shots of the island's highly varied coastline and the towns and cities which lie along it, as well as of the island's volcanic interior.  At the 2:22 mark, you'll see Mt. Teide off in the distance; with a summit altitude of 12.2k ft. above sea level (3.7k m) it's the highest mountain on Spanish soil.   

Top AirVuz contributor scuervo.traveler earned a spot as a Drone Video of the Week Finalist with this excellent drone video from two of the lesser known islands of Spain's Canary Islands archipelago: La Palma and La Gomera.  La Palma is the northwesternmost of the principal eight islands of the Canaries.  Like its siblings, it is volcanic in origin, and its Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge erupted as recently as 2021.  La Gomera, also located on the western side of the chain, is one of the smallest and least-populous of the main islands.  

Multiple time Drone Video of the Week Winner Jan Barančík - DronistaCZ brings us this magnificent drone video from the island of Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands.  Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 2, the video reveals the stunning beauty of the island, the largest and most populous of the Spanish archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  The "star" of the show is Mt. Teide, whose summit at 12.2k ft. above sea level (3.7k m) is the highest point on Spanish territory; measured from its base on the ocean floor, it's 24.6k ft. tall (7.5k m).   

AirVuz contributor and pilot scuervo.traveler brings us this marvelous drone video from La Gomera, one of the smaller main islands of Spain's Canary Islands.  The video was filmed around the Mirador de Abrante viewpoint, which lies on the northern side of the island.  The video provides excellent views of the "red lands" around the scenic vista.  In the shots facing to the north, you'll be able to see Tenerife, the largest and most populous of the Canaries, which lie off the coast of Northern Africa.  

Former DVOW Winner Łukasz Jaros brings us this stunning drone travel video of Gran Canaria, one of Spain's Canary Islands.  Created with aerial footage from a DJI Mavic 3 drone as well as ground camera footage, the video highlights the extremely diverse landscapes of Gran Canaria, which lies in the middle of the archipelago.  Most of the footage highlights two of these landscapes: the Maspalomas sand dunes, which lie at Gran Canaria's southern tip, and the volcanic mountains which cover much of its northern ,western and central parts.  

Lanzarote is the northernmost and easternmost of the Canary Islands, which are part of Spain but lie off the coast of North Africa.  Like its sister islands, Lanzarote is volcanic in origin and an infant in geological terms - it was only about 15 million years ago that it surfaced above the ocean.  In this DVOW nominated video by sergiosigler, you'll get to see some of the highlights of Lanzarote from above.  Much of the video was filmed in and around Timanfaya National Park, in the center-west of the island.

AirVuz contributor Canarias Dron garnered a spot as a Finalist in the Drone Video of the Week contest in June of 2021 for this fantastic aerial collage of the island of Gran Canaria.  Gran Canaria is the second-most populous and the third-largest by area of the Canary Islands, a chain of Spanish islands off the coast of North Africa.  Most of the video was filmed over the coast of the island, which emerged from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean via a series of eruptions just a few million years ago - a blink of an eye in geological terms.  

In this video by drone pilot rodolfofalcon, you'll take an aerial trek up to the rocky, mountainous hills of Tenteniguada in Spain's Canary Islands to see this literal trailblazer bounding through the challenging terrain.  The exhilarating aerial views of this intense trail run will have you on the edge of your seat, and possibly thinking of the Canaries for your next vacation adventure.  Tenteniguada lies on the island of Gran Canaria, the third-largest of the Canaries by land area and the second-largest by population.

Check out these spectacular aerial views of the island of Gran Canaria by brand-new AirVuz contributor and pilot CanariasDron.  Located off the coast of Northern Africa, Gran Canaria is the second-most populous of Spain's Canary Islands, and the third-largest by land area.  Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 2, the video features spectacular footage of the island's rocky coastline, as well as its mountainous interior.  Highlights include the town of Puerto de las Nieves on the northwestern side of the island, which you'll see at the :27 mark.  

Gran Canaria is the second-most populated of Spain's Canary Islands, which lie off the coast of North Africa. However, the vast majority of its roughly 850k residents live on its northern and eastern coastlines. In this beautiful drone video, PinpinBobis provides an aerial tour of the island's northwestern coast, which is much more sparsely populated. Picked as a finalist for the Drone Video of the Week in November, 2019, the video features footage of the Tamadaba Natural Park, the small town of Agaete, and more.

Check out these fantastic drone views from Spain's Gran Canaria island, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Canarias dron.  The video was filmed over and around the town of Sardina del Norte, which lies along a small bay on the northwestern side of the island, the second-largest (both in terms of population and land area) of the Canary Islands archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  The town consists mainly of a tiny port with an adjacent small beach.  The video was filmed with a DJI Mini 2 drone.  

When the Canary Islands were first explored by Spain beginning in the late 15th century, they were not by any means uninhabited.  Rather, the islands had been populated by the Guanches, a North African tribe which is believed to have started migrating to the islands in the first millennium BC.  One of the great remaining landmarks from this pre-Spanish culture is the ruins of La Fortaleza de Ansite on the island of Gran Canaria, which you'll see here in this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot CanariasDron. 

Contributor Hamed.razzaghi created this memorable drone video of a spot on Gran Canaria in Spain's Canary Islands. Maspaloma is a town on the southern coast of the island, which lies in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean archipelago.  It is surrounded by an arid area of other-worldly beauty.  Moviegoers may see some familiar territory here; the Maspaloma sand dunes were used to film the 2010 blockbuster action movie Clash of the Titans, which grossed nearly a half billion dollars at the box office.

Multiple Drone Video of the Week Finalist koszoandras_photography
  brings us this stunning drone video from the island of Fuerteventura in the (Spanish) Canary Islands.  Fuerteventura lies on the eastern side of the archipelago,  which lies off the coast of North Africa.  Video highlights include the Punta Jandía Lighthouse at the island's southwestern tip (at the :38 mark), shots of the island's legendary windsurfing scene (1:23), the satellite Lobos Island, off Fuerteventura's northeastern tip (2:08), and more.

 .  

LRM Videos used a combination of ground camera and drone footage to create this amazing video of Volcán de Arena, one of the volcanoes of Fuerteventura in Spain's Canary Islands.  This is one of a half dozen volcanoes on this island, which is situated due east of Gran Canaria, off the coast of North Africa.   The video features dramatic sweeping shots of the crater, time lapses, and even a peak at a large predatory bird.  The number of active volcanoes is a function of their relatively young geological age.

Of the seven Spanish Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa, Fuerteventura is the second largest. There are a few stories about how the island got its name, from a reference to the likelihood of escaping the dangerous ocean turbulence to the good luck gained from being on the island. Drone pilot Paride Musci found his own good fortune while spending a solo week armed with a DJI Mavic Pro 2, a Go Pro Hero 5, and a good eye for amazing shots; the result is this stunning travel video of the island.

Contributor and pilot Yapov brings us this beautiful drone video of the area around El Cotillo Beach on Fuerteventura, one of Spain's Canary Islands.  It's on the northwestern shore of the island, which lies near the western end of the chain.  The beach here was the primary shooting location for one of the more memorable scenes of 21st century film thus far: the (computer enhanced) "Parting of the Red Sea" sequence in Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings, one of the biggest box office hits of 2014.

Check out this stunning 60 second piece from Spain's Canary Islands, compliments of new AirVuz contributor and pilot one.villa.  The video was shot in the northern part of  Fuerteventura, the second-largest of the group by land area, the entirety of which is now part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. You'll see some great surfing and kiteboarding action from the legendary beaches here, as well as the nearby Corralejo Sand Dunes and the iconic Tostón Lighthouse on the island's northwestern corner.

Check out this beautiful drone video from Spain's Canary Islands, compliments of contributor Fehér Photography.  It was filmed around the town of Corralejo, at the northern end of the island of Fuerteventura.  The area, just north of the Corralejo Dunes National Park, is one of the two main towns on the island, the closest of the archipelago to the North African coast.  Corralejo is a bit smaller than the island's other main resort town: Puerto del Rosarito, which lies about a quarter of the way down its eastern coast.  

Check out this short-but-stunning drone video of one of the volcanoes in Spain's Canary Islands, compliments of AirVuz contributor Dani Masaro.  Calderón Hondo is located near the northern tip of Fuerteventura, the second-largest of the Canaries in terms of land area.  The volcano is part of a chain called the Volcanes de Bayuyo, which runs across the island.  Located about 5 km (around 3 mi.) from the coast, the volcano has a maximum elevation of around 275 meters above sea level or about 900 ft.

Check out this stunningly cinematic first person view (FPV) drone video from Spain's Canary Islands, compliments of top contributor Scottyblue77.  The video was filmed on Fuerteventura, the second-largest of the Canaries by land area and (with Lanzarote) one of the two major islands in the eastern part of the grouping.  With the longest beachline in the archipelago, Fuerteventura also has one of the most diverse eco-systems.  The video includes footage from Playa de los Matos,  Puerto de la Cruz, Playa de Soledad, Cofete Beach, and more.  

Fuerteventura is one of the easternmost of the Canary Islands, the Spanish archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  The second-largest of the seven main islands by land area and the fourth-most populous, the entire island has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2009.  Whereas the other islands are perhaps best known for their volcanic interior, Fuerteventura is famous most of all for its long beaches.   Check out these legendary beaches from above in this outstanding drone video by Fehér Photography.

If you're having a hard time picking your "favorite Canary," this drone video by contributor Yuran may tip the scales in favor of Fuerteventura.  The second largest of the archipelago, Fuerteventura may be the most "other worldly" of the group.  It's why the island has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.  Its coloring, the shape of its volcanic craters, the shape of its seaside cliffs - everything about the place is spectacular, and the best of it is brought out here.  This video was filmed with a DJI Mavic Pro.

Fuerteventura is in some ways the most "otherworldly" of Spain's Canary Islands archipelago off the North African coast.  Like the other Canaries, its landscape betrays its recent volcanic origins, but Fuerteventura has physical features not found on the other islands.  In this great piece by LRM Videos, you'll get a bird's eye view of this stunning spot.  The video will take you over the island's crater fields, its spectacular coastline featuring a mix of sandy beaches and rocky outcrops, and its famed Corralejo Dunes.  

The Corralejo Sand Dunes are one of the natural wonders of the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa.  The dunes cover the northern part of Fuerteventura, the island which lies closest to the African mainland.  Seen in this excellent drone video by ReaganFilms, the dunes are part of the Corralejo Natural Park (Parque Natural de Corralejo).  The Corralejo Sand Dunes were used as a filming location for Ridley Scott's epic 2014 biblical movie Exodus: Gods and Kings.  

Top AirVuz contributor Enrico Pescantini brings us this fantastic drone video of the aftermath of a large volcanic eruption in Spain's Canary Islands.  The eruption occurred in the last months of 2021 on the volcanic ridge of Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma, the northwesternmost of this archipelago located off the coast of North Africa.  The eruption, the longest in the recorded history of the island, forced the evacuation of 7k people and covered about four square mi. (around 10 square km) with molten lava.  

For a second upload to AirVuz, new contributor on.the.level brings us this excellent drone video of Fuerteventura, one of Spain's Canary Islands.  The second-largest of the islands in land area (after Tenerife), Fuerteventura (along with Lanzarote to its north) are on the eastern side of the archipelago, nearest to the North African coastline.  Far less populated than Tenerife and Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura has emerged as a popular eco-tourism destination, and the entire island is designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

In this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor rayco baez, you'll travel to the Spanish island of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands which lie off the coast of North Africa.  The area filmed is around Playa Cofete, a beach area on the northern side of the "tail" of the roughly tadpole-shaped island.  Here you'll see the Roque del Moro, a giant offshore rock formation which sits at the western end of the beach.  It's the type of natural scenery which led to the entire island being designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve.  

Prepare to be amazed by these stunning drone views of the Spanish island of Fuerteventura, compliments of AIrVuz contributor saeb mahajna.  Fuerteventura is part of the Canary Islands, an archipelago which is located off the coast of North Africa.  The second-largest and fourth-most populous of the Canaries, Fuerteventura is also geologically the oldest.  Known for its long sandy beaches and distinctive natural features such as the Corralejo Sand Dunes (which you'll see in the video), the entire island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.  

Get an aerial view of the interior of the island of Fuerteventura, compliments of new contributor and pilot rayco baez.  Fuerteventura is the second-largest (by area) of the Canary Islands, the Spanish archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  While it's technically the oldest of the Canaries, most of Fuerteventura was formed only five million years ago - a blink of the eye in geological terms.  That's why it has such an other-wordly look, particularly on its interior where most of the video was filmed.  

Explore the Spanish island of Fuerteventura in this fantastic video by brand-new contributor Łukasz Jaros.  The video was created with aerial footage from a DJI Mavic Air drone as well as ground camera shots.  Fuerteventura is one of the main members of the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago located off the coast of North Africa.  With its famous sand dunes, long white beaches, and (now extinct) volcanoes, Fuerteventura is the second-largest of the Canaries by land area.  The entire island has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.  

Fior a first upload to AirVuz, new contributor julesshf brings us this excellent drone video from the Spanish island of Fuerteventura.  Fuerteventura is the third-largest of the Canary Islands (fourth-largest by population) and the closest island in the archipelago to the mainland of Africa - it's only about 60 mi. (around 100 km) from the coast of Morocco at its closest point.  Filmed with a DJI Mini 2 drone, the video will take you over this ecological treasure, the entirety of which was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009.  

Upperview Productions used a DJI Inspire 1 drone combined with ground footage to create this beautiful video from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands.  Lying toward the eastern end of the archipelago (just south and west of Lanzarote), Fuerteventura is the second largest of the seven main islands by land area, after Gran Canaria.  The video features some of the stunning geological phenomena to be found on the island as well as some its surfing beaches, considered amongst the best in the world.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist IVAL PhotoVideo returns to AirVuz after a three year hiatus with this fantastic drone video from the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of Northern Africa.  The video was filmed over Lanzarote, the easternmost and third-most populous of the Canaries.  Only 80 mi. (about 130 km) from the African coast, Lanzarote is home to the Timanfaya National Park, which is made up entirely of volcanic soil.  In 1993, the entire island was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.  

Contributor Jeremy Taktouk used a DJI Mavic Pro 3 Cine as well as an FPV drone to create this stunning travel video from Lanzarote, one of Spain's Canary Islands.  The easternmost of the main islands, Lanzarote lies just 80 mi. (around 125 km) off the coast of North Africa.  Like the other islands, Lanzarote is volcanic in origin, having arisen from the floor of the Atlantic ocean about 15 million years ago (very recently, in geological terms).  The video features shots both of Lanzarote's coastline as well as its mountainous interior.    

Check out this fantastic drone video from Spain's Canary Islands, compliments of AirVuz contributor Kris-Tof.  The video was filmed on Lanzarote, the easternmost and third-largest (by land area) of the archipelago, which is situated off the coast of North Africa.  The first aerial shot is over one of the volcanoes of Timanfaya National Park, on the southwestern part of the island.  Much of the rest of the video was filmed over the Lanzarote coastline, with a great shot of the town of Punta Mujeres on the northern coast at the :53 mark.  

Explore the Spanish island of Lanzarote in this fantastic drone video by AirVuz contributor Kris-Tof.  The video opens with a beautiful shot of a peninsula near Orzola Beach at the northern tip of Lanzarote, which is part of the Canary Islands.  From there, you'll head to the Papago Beach area at the island's southern tip.  At the 1:06 mark, there's a nice shot of Puerto del Carmen, the main town of Lanzarote, which is located on its southern coast.  Other highlights include the Timanfaya National Park on the western side of the island.  

The beauty of the Canary Islands and the cinematic power of the DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone are both on display here in this marvelous video by drone pilot and content creator Paride Musci.  The video was shot on the island of Lanzarote, the fourth largest of the group (third most populous), which lies to the northeast of  Fuerteventura.  Lanzarote has about 210 km (around 13 mi.) of coastline, 90% of which is spectacularly rocky.  Its interior landscape includes two mini mountain ranges and the El Jable Desert. 

One of the emerging trends in travel drone videos is a move towards productions which incorporate footage from both gimbal-stabilized quads like the DJI Mavic series as well as first person view (FPV) drones.  In this outstanding piece from Spain's Canary Islands by new AirVuz contributor Antonio Sasso, you'll see a great example of this phenomenon.   Shot over the island of Lanzarote (the fourth-largest and third-most populous of the Canaries), the video expertly weaves together footage from a DJI Mavic Air 2 drone with FPV footage.     

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Kris-Tof - The Black Swan Flight
  brings us this amazing drone video from Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands chain off the coast of North Africa.  Filmed with a DJI Mavic 3 drone, the video features some stunning shots of the Lanzarote coastline, which runs a length of just over 130 mi. (around 213 km) and includes a series of coastal mountains and cliffs.  At the :42 mark, you'll see the Pechiguera Lighthouse, which is located on the southwestern end of the island.  

Contributor Michael Ceber combined aerial footage from a DJI Mavic Air and ground camera footage to create this beautiful trip video from Lanzarote, one of Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa. Much of the video was filmed around Costa De Papagayo a stretch of coastline in the southern part of the island.  The video also features some surfers at La Santa, on the western side of the island.  You'll also see some footage from Timanfaya National Park, in southwestern Lanzarote.

AirVuz contributor and pilot admr1985 used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 to create this beautiful aerial video from the Spanish island of Lanzarote.  The northernmost and easternmost of the Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa, Lanzarote is the third-most populous of the Canaries, after Tenerife and Gran Canary.  The focus of the video is the Costa Teguise resort area, on the island's eastern coast.  Costa Teguise is considered the second-largest resort area on the island, after Puerto del Carmen to its south.  

Check out this stunning drone video of the Spanish island of Lanzarote, compliments of contributor marco.trastu. It's the northernmost and easternmost of the archipelago of the Canary Islands which are located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Africa.  The island measures about 60 km (around 35 mi.) north to south and about 25 km (around 15 mi.) east to west.  It's a young island in geological terms, having been created by volcanic eruptions on the Atlantic floor about 15 million years ago. 

Explore the Spanish island of Lanzarote in this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor scuervo, who used a DJI Mavic Pro 3 to aerially film this member of the Canary Islands archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  The video opens with an epic shot of Papagayo Beach, at the southern tip of the island.  Starting at about the :30 mark, you'll head a bit inland to see the volcanic wonders of Timanfaya National Park, in the southwestern part of Lanzarote, where the landscape consists entirely of volcanic soil.  

AirVuz contributor Mark59 brings us this excellent drone video from the volcanoes on the Spanish island of Lanzarote.  Lanzarote is the easternmost (and northernmost) of the Canary Islands and is the closest of the chain to the mainland of North Africa, which lies only about 80 mi (around 125 km) away at its closest point.  Like the other Canaries, Lanzarote arose from eruptions on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean and is a comparative infant in geological terms, having emerged above the surface of the water about 15 million years ago.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Kris-Tof - The Black Swan Flight
 brings us this excellent drone video from Spain's Canary Islands, an archipelago located off the coast of North Africa.  The video was filmed over Punta Fariones, a narrow peninsula at the northern tip of Lanzarote, the easternmost and fourth-largest (by land area) member of the Canaries.  At about the 1:50 mark, there's a nice shot of the lonely lighthouse (Punta Fariones Light) which sits at the very northern tip of the island.  

Check out this excellent drone video of a volcano in the Canary Islands, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot WeiS PRoDuCTioNS.  It's called the Caldera Blanca, and it's located on Lanzarote, the northernmost and easternmost of this Spanish archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  The caldera, which is circled by a 6 mi. (10 km) trail, is located in the Timanfaya National Park, which covers much of the western part of the island.  The crater is almost a mile wide (about 1.4 km).  

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor Oscarszady brings us this stunning drone video from Lanzarote, one of Spain's Canary Islands.  Lanzarote is the easternmost and fourth-largest of the Canaries (by land area), an archipelago which lies off the coast of North Africa.  The video, which also includes ground and underwater camera footage, will take you over the expanse of the island, which (like the other Canaries) emerged as a volcano from the Atlantic sea floor comparatively recently - "only" about 15 million years ago.  

Check out this beautiful drone video from the island of Lanzarote, the easternmost of Spain's Canary Islands off the North African coast.  The video features some particularly good aerial footage of the area around Timanfaya National Park, which covers much of the southwestern part of the island.  The spectacular landform and coloring are largely a function of the island's young age - like the other Canaries, emerged from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean only about 15 million years ago, virtually yesterday in geological terms.  

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot YoseGonFPV brings us this highly cinematic FPV video from Spain's Canary Islands.  The video was filmed on near the town of Vallehermoso on the western coast of La Gomera, one of the smaller of the Canary Islands, which are located off the coast of North Africa.  Vallehermoso is the second-largest town on the island, which has a total population of fewer than 25k permanent residents and is located just to the west of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands.   

La Graciosa is one of the smallest and least-known of Spain's Canary Islands archipelago.  It lies just 2 km (a bit over a mi.) north of Lanzarote, the easternmost and northernmost of the chain's major islands.  With only two permanent settlements, La Graciosa was officially named the eighth Canary Island in 2018.  It covers about 29 square km (around 11 sq. mi.) and is extremely arid.  Home to about 700 full-time residents, you can check out La Graciosa from above in this drone video from WeiS PRoDuCTioNS.  

Punta Orchilla Lighthouse (Faro de Punta Orchilla) is located on the western side of El Hierro, the westernmost of the Canary Islands.  For this reason, it's nicknamed the “lighthouse at the edge of the world.”  Sitting atop a hill, it has a focal height of 132 meters or about 425 ft.  It became operational in 1933 and is extremely isolated; reaching it requires a 25 km (15 mi.) trip through a partially unfinished road. The whitewashed single story house can be seen in this drone video by pilot dronostia.

Check out these drone and ground camera views of a famous beach area in the Canary Islands, compliments of AirVuz contributor WeiS PRoDuCTioNS.  The Papagayo beaches are located on a small peninsula at the very southern tip of Lanzarote, the fourth-largest as well as northernmost/easternmost of this Spanish archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  The beaches are situated amongst sea cliffs that run along the Papagayo coastline and offer complete seclusion, particularly considering that southern Lanzarote is comparatively uninhabited.

LRM Videos created this stunning drone video of La Palma, the northwesternmost of Spain's Canary Islands.  In terms of both land area and population, it is the fifth largest of the seven main islands which make up the Canaries.  Like the other islands, La Palma arises from a volcano on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.  The volcano's summit rises about 2.4k meters (just under 8k ft.) above sea level, although much taller when measured from the depths of the ocean floor.

Talented content creator and first person view (FPV) pilot L. Morandini brings us this highly cinematic FPV video of an erupting volcano in Spain's Canary Islands.  It's actually a volcanic ridge called Cumbre Vieja, and it's located on La Palma, the fifth-largest of this archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  Having erupted twice during the course of the 20th century, the ridge began erupting again in September, 2021.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in December, 2021.  

Spain's Canary Islands are a geological wonder.  They were formed beginning just 20 million years ago (a comparative blink of the eye) when a "hotspot" on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Africa began producing volcanoes large enough to emerge from the sea as islands.  These volcanoes now cover much of the interior area of the seven main islands.  In this outstanding drone video by contributor NIKCOM fpv, you'll take an aerial tour of some of these stunning volcanic mountains.  

The boundaries between the worlds of gimbal-stabilized aerial videography and first person view (FPV) flight are becoming increasingly blurred.  To see a great example of this dynamic, check out this fantastic video by brand-new AirVuz contributor and pilot robbie08.  He used a combination of a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone and an HD camera-mounted racing quad to create a stunning trip video from the Canary Islands, bringing an entirely new perspective to this Spanish archipelago off the North African coast.
