This area is very cold and windy, even in the summer. The exposed coast brings in a lot of cold air from the ocean, so pack warm, check the weather, and know the capabilities of your drone before visiting. Flying is more common here, so watch for other pilots and communicate with them if possible to avoid any collisions.

Basic Iceland UAV rules:
- Stay under 120 meters (394 feet)
- Never fly directly over crowds
- Register as a drone pilot here: https://www.flydrone.is/register
- Keep drone in visual line of sight
