About this work
The eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in southwest Iceland continued two weeks after it started, along a fissure spewing lava fountains and producing flows. The ASTER visible-near infrared image (left) shows the black fresh lava, and a small bright red area of incandescent lava. A thin gray eruption plume streams to the southeast. The color-coded thermal infrared image (right) highlights the hottest areas of activity in red, and then in bright shades of red.
