Barren Island Volcano

When India's only active volcano, located in the Andaman Islands, erupted in January, it made headlines. Now, the Coast Guard has presented footage of steam, smoke and some red lava that spewed from the volcano at Barren Island, some 140 kilometres north east of Port Blair.

India's only live volcano in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which had started showing activity in the year 1991 after being dormant for over 150 years has once again started spewing ash, the researchers at Goa based National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) said on Friday.
