Grindavik, Iceland Eruption
Volcanic activity resumed near the town of Grindavik, Iceland on January 14. A fissure eruption began several kilometers southwest of the 2023 fissure eruptions. This time, several houses were engulfed by lava. When this nighttime thermal image was captured by ASTER on January 24, the eruption had stopped. The background image is an earlier ASTER daytime scene acquired on August 15, 2022. The images cover an area of 17.8 by 30.2 km, and are located at 63.9 degrees north, 22 degrees west. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA26283
