Watch Iceland's volcanic eruption from SPACE: NASA satellite captures images before and after the explosion, revealing the scorching temperatures as lava flows from the fissure.

Infrared photos taken from space show the intense heat of the Icelandic eruption. Images show how lava flows into the surrounding landscape

The world has been captivated by terrifying images of the latest volcanic explosion in Iceland this week.

And now, NASA satellite images reveal the devastating power of the eruption.

Stunning before and after images of the Reykjanes Peninsula show the scorching heat coming from the vast lava flows.

Using infrared cameras aboard the NOAA-20 satellite, NASA discovered how lava flowed into the surrounding landscape.

And, in the near-permanent darkness of the Arctic winter, these images are vital for monitoring the ongoing eruption.

These satellite images show how the intense heat of the lava from the eruption (right) contrasts sharply with the cold climate before the explosion (left) Scientists are closely monitoring the eruption's progress to predict how dangerous it could become  The eruption initially caused lava to eject through five vents and gas to the surface, creating a zone of heat so intense it can be detected from space
