Narcondum Volcano (India)
13.43 N, 94.25 E, summit elevation 710 m, Stratovolcano
Sunday 2nd January 2005
Narcondum volcano in India has started erupting. The eruption was caused by
the recent great earthquake and aftershocks which hit the area. The volcano
was previously recorded as extinct. Narcondum is the second volcano to erupt
in the Andaman Islands since the great earthquake hit the area one week ago.

Barren 1 Volcano (India)
12.29 N, 93.87 E, summit elevation 305 m, stratovolcano
Friday 31st December 2004
Correction to previous report.
Barren 1 volcano has erupted. The volcano erupted on Tuesday 28th December
after the great earthquake and aftershocks hit the area a few days
previously. People have been evacuated from the area around the crater near
Baratang town on Middle Strait island, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from
the capital Port Blair. Flames and lava are shooting up three metres high.
The population has been cleared from a half kilometre range as a precaution
and barricades have been put up. Barren 1 volcano last erupted in 1996.
Earlier reports mistakenly sited the volcano on Barren Island, site of a
crater traditionally known as the only active volcano in India.
