About Barren Island In Andaman
Barren Island is located in Andaman and is home to the only active volcano in South Asia. As the name suggests, the island is devoid of human life and is inhabited only by rats, goats, flying foxes, and bats. The Island is around 139 kilometers from Port Blair, Andaman. The Island is around three kilometers wide and has two kilometers wide caldera.
History of Volcano Eruptions
The first volcano eruption as per historical record was in the year 1787. Again in the year 1991 and 1994, the volcano erupted and smoke continued for months. Since then, Barren Island has seen many eruptions once or twice almost every year. The latest eruption was recorded in the year 2018.
About Barren Island?
If one wants to reach the Island, permission from the Forest Department of Andaman must be taken. The Island can only be explored by ferries and seaplanes. No one is allowed even near to the shore of Barren Island. From Havelock Island, it takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach Barren Island. One gets to see the captivating view of the Island and the active volcano from the ferry. One can also book a private seaplane and get an aerial view of the active volcano. Barren Island is a famous place for scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing. Many experienced divers come to the island to explore the untouched and pristine underwater world, after taking permission from the Forest Department. For a clearer vision of the volcano, it is suggested to visit Barren Island from November to February.
