The equipment consists of a magnetometer and a drone. The magnetometer is a MagArrow from Geometrics and is specially made for measurements with a drone, but can also be used for measurements from a helicopter or aeroplane. The drone is a DJI Matrice 600 Pro. The equipment is intended to add to the capacity already available in geophysical exploration in Iceland, where the equipment for such measurements is mainly held by ÍSOR and the University of Iceland. There is cooperation on equipment build-up and this equipment is part of it.
