(Reporter 48, Jan 2003) Nowhere is volcanism more impressive and varied than on the largest volcanic island of the earth – Iceland. During the last decade the European Space Agency (ESA) has supported a number of disaster monitoring research projects utilizing the radar satellites ERS-1
and ERS-2. Following the recent launch on 1 March 2002 of the ENVISAT – Europe’s newest polar-orbiting scientific satellite – it is envisaged
that this continuing research will be greatly improved.
