The Barren Island volcano, located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has witnessed two minor eruptions within just eight days, according to officials cited by news agency PTI. The latest eruption occurred merely two days after a 4.2-magnitude earthquake shook the Andaman Sea on September 18.

Location and geological significance

Situated around 140 kilometers northeast of Port Blair, Barren Island is the only active volcano in India as well as in the entire South Asian region. The island sits at the boundary of the Indian and Burmese tectonic plates, making it a highly significant site for geologists studying seismic and volcanic activity.
