The present map shows basic topographic features such as transportation, hydrology andphysiography in the area of the Askja volcano. These basic topographic features are derivedfrom 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 nativepositional accuracy of the background satellite image.The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85 % or better, as it is based on visualinterpretation of recognizable items on high resolution optical imagery. Shadowed areas arezones of lower interpretation accuracy due to the poorer image radiometry. Only the areaenclosed by the Area of Interest has been analyzed.Map produced on 03/09/2014 by e-GEOS under contract 257219 with the EuropeanCommission.

The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in rush mode activation arerealized to the best of our ability, within a very short time frame during a crisis, optimising theavailable data and information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale,resolution, date and interpretation of the original data sources. The products are compliantwith GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio specifications.
On September the 1st 2014 a new volcanic eruption in south east Iceland fountained lavanearly 60 m into the air.Lava is spewing from the same crack as a small eruption that occurred on August 29. Thefissure slices through the 200-year-old Holuhraun lava field, between Bardarbunga volcanoand Askja volcano.The volcanic activity kicked off Aug. 16, when thousands of small earthquakes underneaththe 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-fieldoperations.The scope of the map production is planning and support to logistics.
Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).
