Headline: Tournament Earth 2020: Best Picture Of NASA Earth Observatory Contest - Roiling Flows on Holuhraun Lava Field - Natural Colour

Caption: Landsat 8 captured fine details of the lava flowing in Iceland between the Bardarbunga and Askja volcanoes. As an island in the moist, atmospherically turbulent North Atlantic, Iceland is often shrouded in cloud cover and hard to observe from space. And lately, the island is making some of its own cloud cover, as the Earth has split open between the Bardarbunga and Askja volcanoes and spewed lava and hot gas. The view of the Holuhraun lava field has been spectacular from the ground and from low-flying aircraft.
