The white spot in the middle of the lower bit of land in the above MODIS image is snow and ice covered Snæfellsjökull, the volcano where Jules Verne's travelers began their descent into the bowels of the Earth. This month, those who travel to the volcano's summit at the end of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland may find that they have a good view of some pretty reflective phytoplankton blooms in the Atlantic all around them.

The above image, collected on 10 July 2008
