2nd Annual Drone Video Awards - Game of Drones Category

The North Atlantic island nation of Iceland has some of the world's best landscapes to capture from above. Gushing waterfalls, vibrant and green foliage, foreboding glaciers, and black sand beaches splash your screen with color and texture. "A cinematic journey through Iceland" by contributor and pilot nevinvavier was a Drone Video of the Week nominee, a Drone Video of the Month Staff Pick in October 2018, and a Finalist at the second annual Drone Video Awards in the Game of Drones category.

Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Iceland and one of the largest in Europe.  Within its massive area of 8.1k square km (3k square mi) lie many caves resulting from the icecap's melting patterns.  Contributor Snorrithor flew his DJI Phantom 3 drone into one of these caves, creating a one of a kind "aerial" of this gigantic cavern.  The glacier is the land "Beyond the Wall" in Westeros in HBO's Game of Thrones; the video was a Winner for the Game of Drones category in the AirVuz Drone Video Awards.

Avid traveler and content creator iDrone Aerials, gives us a cinematic HD view of the magnificent Croatian seaport city of Dubrovnik on the Adriatic Sea.  This well-preserved 11th-century city on the Dalmatian Coast has gotten an enormous boost in recent years after it was chosen as a filming location for seasons 2-8 of HBO's hit show "Game of Thrones" (Dubrovnik is the fictional King's Landing, the capital city of Westeros.) This video was a finalist in the Game of Drones category for the 2nd Annual Drone Video Awards.

The Mourne Mountains sit in County Down in the Northern Ireland region of the United Kingdom. They include Slieve Donard, the highest mountain in Ulster.  Contributor Imagine Light used a DJI Mavic Air and a DJI Inspire 2 drone to create this amazing bird's eye view of these magnificent peaks.  The Mournes feature as a filming location for HBO's Game of Thrones series, including two episodes of season one and another in season three. This video is a nominee in the second annual Drone Video Awards for the GoT category.

Valletta is the historic and stunning capital of the island of Malta. The city, built by the Knights of St. John, was once given the nickname “Superbissima” – Italian for “Most Proud.” It also served as a prime filming location for many King's Landing scenes in Season 1 on Game of Thrones. Using a DJI Mavic Pro, drone pilot rikk08 shot the stunning aerial views of this historic city. Fittingly, this video is a Finalist in the Game of Drones category for the second annual Drone Video Awards.
