Volcanic Lagoons

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Top contributor Postandfly created this stunning drone video of the volcanic crater lakes in the Mexican state of Puebla, a bit to the south and east of Mexico City. The three lagoons featured, in order, are Alchichica, Laguna de las Minas, and Atexcc. All three are by-products of the extensive volcanic activity in the area, which forms part of the great volcanic belt which runs through the mid-section of the country. The footage was captured with the DJI Mavic Pro 2 and Phantom 4 Pro drones.
