Barren Island Volcano Shows Activity Twice in September 2025

India’s only active volcano, Barren Island, located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, experienced two minor eruptions within a week. Barren Island lies on the tectonic boundary where the Indian Plate meets the Burma Plate, a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. While the island is uninhabited and the eruptions pose no immediate threat to human life, scientists are closely monitoring the area to understand its geological behavior and assess potential risks.
