The Arctic island of Jan Mayen, north east of Iceland, received a makeover with corrected elevation data and coastlines, and is now available via TerraSync. The volcano, Beerenberg (2277m) is also now one of the volcanoes simulated in FlightGear, making for an impressive sight as the snow covered peak belches out smoke and ash. The island's airstrip, Jan Mayensfield (ENJA), has a 1600m dirt runway, perfectly suited for the DHC-6 or c172p's skis!


''Note: Torsten Dreyer posted on the mailing list:
I am currently trying to get the latest terrasync data upstream to our master copy at http://flightgear.sourceforge.net/scenery/ which for whatever reason is painfully slow.
The rsync is now running for more than 36hours and still processing data.
Because of this, there might occour some inconsistencies and sha1 mismatches in the Terrain folders for the Oahu and Jan Mayen area. Some of the folders of recently modified /Objects may also trigger errors.
Once the rsync has completed, those errors should go away.
