The fissure of lava coursing over Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula.

A fiery stream of lava coursing near Iceland's Blue Lagoon has been captured in a stunning new satellite image released by NASA on Wednesday (Nov. 27).

The photos, taken by NASA's Landsat 9 satellite, show lava flowing from a fissure in the Sundhnúkur crater row on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula. Infrared light from the eruption, captured by the Suomi NPP satellite, appears brighter than the light from Iceland's nearby capital, Reykjavík.
