barren island india
The Barren Island, situated in the Andaman Nicobar chain of islands in the Indian Ocean, is the only historically active volcano along a volcanic arc connecting Sumatra and Myanmar. Its 135 kilometers (84 miles) east of Port Blair (india). This is part of the indian union territory.
This island is uninhabited by humans. Goats (rather strange), birds, bats like flying foxes and a few rodent species such as rats are known to survive the harsh conditions.
The first recorded eruption of the volcano dates back to 1787. Since then, the volcano has erupted more than six times, most recently on 19 July 2009. After the first recorded eruption in 1787, further eruptions were recorded in 1789, 1795, 1803–04, and 1852. After nearly one and half century of dormancy, the island had another eruption in 1991 that lasted six months and caused considerable damage. There were eruptions in 1994–95 and 2005–07, the later being considered to be linked to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The most recent eruption started in May 2008 and still continues.
