YouTuber and drone operator Joey Helms was filming an erupting Icelandic volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which is 40 km away from Reykjavík, Iceland. The video taken by Joey Helms via drone captured the exact moment that fell right into the volcano’s caldera.
The volcano had started erupting on March 19, 2021.
Georgios Bartzokis, a Greek national, was detained after filming Turkish Cypriot military facilities without permission in Lefke, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Caught on June 27 while recording military housing and installations in Yedidalga, Bartzokis was taken into custody. Police found footage of other sensitive sites, including the Turkish Embassy and the TRNC Assembly.
A court ruled for his 4-day detention, citing the seriousness of the offense and lack of residency. Authorities are also reviewing his digital materials, including a voice recorder and USBs. A social media post labeling the TRNC Assembly as “occupied territory” raised further suspicion.
