This image is of Bardarbunga Volcano is Iceland. This image specifically is of a lava field of this volcano that is active. There is a pool of magma in the right hand side of the image as well. This was taken using the German satellite TerraSAR-X and the image shows an area of 30km x 50km. This image is especially interesting because this specific volcano has was active in November and was on watch for an eruption. I could not find a photo of the most recent volcanic activity and this image is from 2015.
