This drone footage gives a close-up view as lava spewing from Iceland’s Fagradalsfjall volcano burns the surrounding shrubbery.

Visuals from Saturday and Sunday (March 20 and 21) show numerous streams of lava consuming the nearby grassy slopes.

Clouds of steam are seen rising into the air as lava continued to be spat out of the fissure vent.

Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted after thousands of small earthquakes in the area in recent weeks.

On Sunday, Iceland's Meteorological Office tweeted: "The eruption is still ongoing.

Lava fountain activity is low and mapping of the lava flow is in progress.

No volcanic ash has been detected but high level of volcanic gases has been measured close to the eruption site."
