The fourth eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula started at 22:17 this evening. I anticipate a long night and lots of #GIS work here at the Icelandic Met Office.

Someone has tasked #USGS / #NASA Landsat satellites to acquire nighttime images of a large area on the south and west coast of #Iceland My guess is that it is related to the Fagradalsfjall eruption and lava field thermal properties. Both #Landsat8 and #Landsat9 have been acquiring on an ascending path (around 22:30 Local/GMT). The visual spectrum bands are pitch black, but the TIR bands (brightness temperature bands 10 and 11) are spectacular if it’s a cloud free image like yesterday! #qgis
