Barren Island Volcano (India)

Barren Island volcano has erupted in the Andaman Islands, India. An Indian coast guard ship sighted a thick plume of smoke on Saturday as it came close to uninhabited Barren Island. Hotspots are visible on satellite images. Barren Island volcano last erupted in 1995. The area has been hit by aftershocks following the December 2004 great earthquake off Sumatra.
