This temperature difference image, taken on 28 Mars 2010, at 04:00, shows a clear sign of a dust storm stemming from the sandur area in front of the glaciers Skeiðarárjökull.


Also note the black spot between Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull, on the southern-most part of Iceland, that is the hot spot due to the eruption at Fimmvorduhals!
