A view of the Holuhraun lava field from the Bárðarbunga volcano, located in Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland. The image shows the rubbly textured basaltic lava flow that has been partially buried by wind-blown sediment. Iceland has been used as a planetary analog for geology training for astronauts since the Apollo missions because of the geologic similarities to the Moon.
