General Information Area of Interest Transportation Local Roads Hydrology River Lake Physiography Contour lines and elevation (m) The present map shows basic topographic features such as transportation, hydrology and physiography in the area of the Askja volcano. These basic topographic features are derived from visual interpretation of pre-event image Landsat - 8 (acquired 21/08/2014). All satellite images have been radiometrically enhanced. The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 5 m CE90 or better, from native positional accuracy of the background satellite image. The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85 % or better, as it is based on visual interpretation of recognizable items on high resolution optical imagery. Shadowed areas are zones of lower interpretation accuracy due to the poorer image radiometry. Only the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analyzed.

All geographic information has limitations due to scale, resolution, date and interpretation of the original data sources. The products are compliant with GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio specifications. On September the 1st 2014 a new volcanic eruption in south east Iceland fountained lava nearly 60 m into the air. Lava is spewing from the same crack as a small eruption that occurred on August 29. The fissure slices through the 200-year-old Holuhraun lava field, between Bardarbunga volcano and Askja volcano. The volcanic activity kicked off Aug. 16, when thousands of small earthquakes underneath the Bardarbunga volcano signaled fresh magma (molten rock) was burrowing underground. This map has not been validated with in-situ data. The core users of the map are Humanitarian Aid Operators. The potential additional users of the map are Civil Protection authorities involved in in-field operations. The scope of the map production is planning and support to logistics. Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).
