Eruptive phase; steam and ash plume reported, hot spot at Barren Island in India

Hot spot at Barren island (MIROVA)

A steam and ash plume at estimated 10,000 ft (3 km) altitude and extending 35 km to the east from the volcano was detected yesterday on MTSAT satellite imagery (VAAC Darwin).

 

A moderately strong hot spot is visible at the volcano as well, suggesting that the eruptive phase that had started in April might still be going on at a low level.
