The 2014-2015 eruption at Holuhraun has produced more than 1.5 km3 of basaltic magma and can beconsidered one of the major effusive events of the last two centuries in the world. During this eruptionthe MIROVA system (a volcanic hot-spot detection system based on MODIS middle infrared – MIR- data) h...
