Rafts of Lava with
Strange Infrared
Properties
At this location, there are two rafted pieces of lava crust with strange
infrared properties. Compared to the rest of the lava flow, these two
raised areas are cold at night and warm in the day. This property of the
surface, where the temperature changes quickly, is called “low thermal
inertia.” Rocks tend to have relatively high thermal inertia, so this is
unexpected.
