Barren Island volcano, India’s only live volcano, became active in January

Not so fast.
We in Pakistan certainly don't have magmatic volcanoes but we certainly do have mud volcanoes along our coast in Bolachistan. One of them at Hingol is sacred to hindus and Pakistani hindus often go there for pilgrimage. Search for "mud volcanoes" on google and you will get plenty of information.
No need to bow. We only bow to Allah.

That's why I used the specific word "Magmatic". I know Pakistan has mud volcano. You are thin skinned, can't take the joke? Always serious?

I have been to Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala beaches but still the charm of Andman and Lakshyadweep is still elusive from me. And I know I am going there in very short time. Just too awesome!!!!!

goa is full of nonsense drugs thugs... unlike andaman..

Andaman sea is huge. Indian islands are a small claim.

Andaman sea is huge. Indian islands are a small claim.

Most of the islands on this earth are uninhabited, but Andaman islands are considered one of the beautiful islands under the administration and part of India.It is also home to worlds most rarest primitive people on planet earth as same as in Amazon rain forest.The islands also have population of more than 342,125 and so can never considered as very small islands as far as population are concerned.It also gives flexibility for India or Indian Navy/airforce to have control over andaman sea, which is far away from Indian coast.

India’s only live volcano in the Andaman and Nicobar islands is erupting once again. The Barren Island volcano, located 140 km Northeast of Port Blair, dormant for more than 150 years started erupting in 1991 and has since then shown intermittent activity. A team of scientists reported that the volcano is active and spewing smoke and lava once again.

On the afternoon of 23 January, the scientific team was busy collecting sea floor samples in the Andaman Basin near the Barren volcano when it suddenly started spewing ash. The team moved about one mile from the volcano and began closely observing it. The volcano was erupting in small episodes lasting about 5 to 10 minutes.

During the daytime only ash clouds were observed. However after sundown, the team observed red lava fountains spewing from the crater into the atmosphere and hot lava flows streaming down the slopes of the volcano. The volcano was revisited in the early hours of 26th January

India's and South Asia's only Active Volcano Barren Island errupts
=======================
Barren Island is an island located in the Andaman Sea and is the only active volcano in South Asia. The small 3-km-wide island contains a 1.6-km-wide crater and lies about 138 km northeast of the Andaman Island's capital, Port Blair. To the north of Barren Island 140 km away lies one more important dormant volcano in Indian subcontinent named as Narcondam. So what are the Volcano's of India (Refer the list in the images).

When are the past eruptions
-------------------
The first recorded eruption of the Barren Island volcano dates back to 1787. Since then, the volcano has erupted more than ten times, further eruptions were recorded in 1789, 1795, 1803–04, and 1852. After nearly 150 years of dormancy, the island had another eruption in 1991, 1994–95, 2005–07, 2008-09, 2010-11, 2015 and with the most recent one being in 2017.

Low Visibility
-------------------
As the name suggests the island is totally barren except for a few trees on the coast line. There are some wild goats which inhabit the island. It’s a wonder that these goats live on sea water or may be there are some fresh water springs. A few of them even survived the volcano eruption of 1991. Barren Island has restricted public access and can be reached by Indian Navy or Indian Coast Guard vessels. Private citizens of India can visit the volcanic island by chartered boats after obtaining permission of the Forest Department in Port Blair. Geological Survey of India (GSI) have been studying the volcano for nearly two decades; however, with rare exceptions their studies have been published as the GSI’s internal reports and as conference abstracts are not easily accessible. The volcano has therefore had quite low visibility internationally. There is also no continuous monitoring of the volcano.

2017 Eruption
----------------
A team of scientists led by Abhay Mudholkar, from CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR-NIO) in Goa reported that the volcano is active and spewing smoke and lava once again. “On the afternoon of January 23, 2017, the scientific team on board CSIR-NIO’s research ship RV Sindhu Sankalp was busy collecting sea floor samples in the Andaman Basin near the Barren volcano when it suddenly started spewing ash,” the NIO has said.“The team moved about one mile from the volcano and began closely observing it. It was erupting in small episodes lasting about five to ten minutes,” said the release. During the daytime only ash clouds were observed. However, after sundown, the team observed red lava fountains spewing from the crater into the atmosphere and hot lava flows streaming down the slopes of the volcano, it said. NIO has said the volcano was revisited in the early hours of January 26, 2017 again during the second leg of the cruise led by B Nagender Nath, adding the team witnessed the continuation of spurts of blasts and smoke.
